answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>The Foreign Secretary raised the issue of the Bedouin village of Khan Al Ahmar during his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on 6 June. He also issued a statement on 1 June calling on Israel to reconsider its proposals to demolish the village, noting that approximately 180 people face the prospect of losing their homes and livelihoods. The UK is particularly concerned by the pending demolition of the village’s school, which serves 170 children. I visited the village on 30 May, and I emphasised the UK’s concern at the village’s imminent demolition, which the UN say could constitute forcible transfer. I reiterated these concerns to the Israeli Ambassador on 20 June.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 25/06/2018 16:05:42 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

uin	155224
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2018 answer text <p>All wild birds, including swifts, are protected through the provisions of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which provides a powerful framework for the conservation of wild birds, their eggs, nests and habitats. There is no clear evidence that swift populations would benefit from the additional special penalties Schedule 1 birds are protected by, therefore the Government has no plans to add the swift to the Schedule at the current time.</p><p> </p><p>Biodiversity is a devolved issue. The list of priority species in England is kept under review by Natural England and there are no plans to amend it to include the swift. The list consists of ‘species of principal conservation importance’ under the 2006 Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act; the UK Biodiversity Action Plan is no longer in place.</p><p> </p><p>The priority species list is not the only means of informing action for species conservation in England. The swift has now been identified as an amber listed species in the UK Birds of Conservation Concern, which we would take into account in planning conservation action.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 26/06/2018 09:58:15 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
