answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2018 answer text <p>The Secretary of State for International Development has not recently held any discussions with her Israeli counterparts on economic revitalisation in Gaza. The UK remains gravely concerned about the humanitarian and economic situation in Gaza. In August 2017, Minister Burt met with Israeli officials to discuss various issues including the dire need to improve the humanitarian and economic situation in Gaza. We welcome all practical steps to improve conditions as a matter of urgency. HMG officials regularly discuss economic revitalisation in Gaza with their Israeli and Palestinian counterparts. For example, on 13 March, senior HMG officials attended a United States hosted conference on the humanitarian and economic situation in Gaza alongside representatives from 20 countries, including Israel.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 16/04/2018 14:37:12 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2018 answer text <p>Where it appears to a local authority that a vehicle in its area is abandoned, it has a duty to remove the vehicle, unless (in the case of vehicles not on a carriageway) the cost of moving the vehicle to the nearest carriageway would be unreasonably high. There is no statutory definition of ‘abandoned’, and it is for councils to determine whether any particular vehicle has been abandoned.</p><p>There is no statutory time frame for responding to reports of abandoned vehicles. Where a vehicle is abandoned on land that is ‘occupied’, the local authority must give the occupier 15 days’ notice that it proposes to remove the vehicle. The local authority is not entitled to remove the vehicle if the occupier objects to the proposal within that period. If the occupier gives the local authority permission to remove the vehicle during this 15-day period, the vehicle may be removed immediately, but there is no statutory time-frame for doing so.</p><p>It is up to councils to decide how best to meet their statutory duties in respect of abandoned vehicles, and how to prioritise this against other local services.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 16/01/2018 17:21:49 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2016 answer text <p><strong></strong>In England and Wales, euthanasia constitutes murder at common law (unless a partial defence applies to reduce the offence to manslaughter); and under section 2(1) of the Suicide Act 1961 it is an offence to do an act capable of encouraging or assisting the suicide or attempted suicide of another person, with the intention so to encourage or assist. Because euthanasia is illegal, the issue of a right to refuse euthanasia does not arise.</p> answering member constituency North East Hertfordshire answering member printed Sir Oliver Heald question first answered 21/07/2016 14:11:08 answering member 69 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Heald

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2016 answer text <p>NHS Improvement is establishing an independent investigation into the failings reported by Capsticks at Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust. We await the investigation report and will consider its findings carefully. The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) is committed to learning from these investigations alongside NHS England. When it became evident that prison healthcare services at HMP Liverpool needed improvement, NOMS officials worked closely in risk summits with NHS England, and from January 2015 Merseycare NHS Foundation Trust with Lancashire Foundation NHS Trust replaced Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust as the health service provider at HMP Liverpool.</p> answering member constituency North East Hertfordshire answering member printed Sir Oliver Heald question first answered 18/07/2016 11:27:20 answering member 69 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Heald

This duty does not mean that sewerage companies must prevent sewer flooding in all circumstances as it would not be practicable to build sewers to a capacity necessary to cope with the additional load of extreme rainfall events.</p><p>Working in partnership with other risk management authorities, water companies also have a wider role to play in flood risk management including helping manage the risks associated with very heavy rainfall and flash flooding. They must exercise their flood risk management functions in a way which is consistent with national and local flood risk management strategies.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 21/03/2016 15:24:58 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
