uin	HL2480
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2014 answer text <p>The UK fully supports the August EU Foreign Affairs Committee Conclusions, which note that the situation in Gaza has been unsustainable for many years, and a return to the status quo prior to the latest conflict is not an option. The EU stands ready to support a comprehensive ceasefire agreement, and discussions are ongoing on options for this, including support in the area of movement and access. We are clear that whilst we recognise the need to address Israeli security concerns, there is a need to meet Palestinian requirements regarding the lifting of restrictions, including the blockade, on Gaza.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 06/11/2014 14:16:41 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

uin	HL2483
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2014 answer text <p>Since the publication in June of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office-funded independent report on Children in Military Custody, there has been some limited progress. This includes a pilot project to use summons instead of night-time arrests, and steps to reduce the amount of time a child can be detained before seeing a judge. We have welcomed the steps taken to date, but we have called for further measures, including the mandatory use of audio-visual recording of interrogations, investigation into continued reports of single hand ties being used, and an end to solitary confinement for children.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 06/11/2014 14:05:29 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

uin	HL2442
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2014 answer text <p>In its 22 July 2014 Council Conclusions, the EU made clear that it will only recognise changes to the pre-1967 borders, including with regard to Jerusalem, when agreed by the parties. Settlements, including in East Jerusalem, are illegal under international law and an obstacle to the two state solution. Discussions are continuing in Brussels on how the EU can best discourage further Israeli settlement expansion including in East Jerusalem. The EU has also called on both parties to resume serious peace negotiations, which must resolve the status of Jerusalem as the future capital of both states.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 06/11/2014 14:19:02 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL2443
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2014 answer text <p>The UK fully supports the efforts of the UN Secretary-General and calls on all sides to cooperate with the investigation. As the UK and EU made clear, the attacks on UN schools in Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of innocent children, were shocking. We are pressing Israel to demonstrate accountability for its actions during the conflict, both through internal processes, such as Israel Defence Forces' investigations of specific cases of engagement, and international procedures, such as this inquiry, which must be independent and balanced, and examine the actions of both Hamas and Israel.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 06/11/2014 14:09:27 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
