answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2015 answer text <p>DFID’s work in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is channelled through trusted partners including both the UN and non-governmental organisations and mainly consists of large-scale and strategic programmes. The UK Government has made its position on boycotts clear. While we do not hesitate to express disagreement with Israel whenever we feel it necessary, we are firmly opposed to boycotts. We believe that imposing sanctions on Israel or supporting anti-Israeli boycotts would not support our efforts to progress the peace process and achieve a negotiated solution.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 23/06/2015 12:33:21 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
