answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2017 answer text <p>​We have not raised this issue with the Palestinian Authority (PA), as the PA, at this present time, has no control over the Gaza Strip. The increasing use of the death penalty in Gaza is a worrying trend. The UK maintains a no contact policy with the de facto authority in Gaza, Hamas.</p><p>The local EU Heads of Mission issued a statement on 21 February condemning the use of the death penalty in this case and calling on the de facto authorities in Gaza to refrain from carrying out any executions in line with the PA’s moratorium on executions.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 01/03/2017 14:53:50 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2017 answer text <p>​The Government remains deeply concerned about Iranian activity in the region, particularly its support for armed militias in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. We continue to encourage Iran to play a transparent and constructive role in regional affairs and, as the Prime Minister, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Maidenhead (Mrs May) made clear in her speech to the Gulf Cooperation Council in Manama on 7 December, we remain committed to working with our allies to push back against Iran’s aggressive regional actions. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is currently sanctioned in its entirety under the EU’s nuclear listings. In addition, specific individuals within the IRGC are sanctioned in the EU for broader reasons including counter terrorism and human rights.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 28/02/2017 15:07:04 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2017 answer text <p>The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) is a proscribed organisation by the EU, listed due to actions relating to Iran's support for terrorism and human rights violations. There are several reports on the IRGC's role and their involvement in the persecution of individuals in Iran, including the latest report from the UN Special Rapporteur for human rights in Iran.</p><p>We remain concerned about IRGC activity in the region, including worrying reports of Iran's links and support (including financial support and the provision of military equipment and training) to militant/proscribed groups, such as Hizballah, Hamas, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and Palestinian rejectionist groups. This support directly undermines prospects for regional security and lasting-peace in the region.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 28/02/2017 15:02:59 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

This has been achieved through the implementation of a comprehensive tobacco control strategy, one element of which is the provision of evidence-based stop smoking services. Smoking rates vary considerably across the country and it is right that local councils have the flexibility to consider how best to respond to the unique needs of their local population.</p> answering member constituency Oxford West and Abingdon answering member printed Nicola Blackwood question first answered 16/12/2016 12:20:38 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
