answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2022 answer text <p>Human Rights is a crucial element underpinning the UK's foreign policy. We continue to urge the Palestinian Authority (PA) to respect human rights, to ensure complaints of mistreatment or arbitrary detention are properly investigated and to continue to improve the performance of the security sector. An essential aspect of our efforts to prepare the ground for a two state-solution is to support a stable PA that can deliver services to its people and act as an effective partner for peace with Israel. The UK will continue to monitor these areas closely and raise with the highest levels of the PA.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 06/12/2022 15:43:41 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
