answer text <p>Tribunals are administered independently of the Department and therefore appeals to the Upper Tribunal are a matter for the appellant and His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS). The appellant should follow guidance from the First-tier Tribunal (FTT) on the process for appealing to the Upper Tribunal. There is also helpful information on gov.uk: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/appeal-benefit-decision/unhappy-tribunals-decision" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/appeal-benefit-decision/unhappy-tribunals-decision</a>.

answer text <p>During his first visit to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories on 14-15 July, the Foreign Secretary pressed Israeli leaders to deliver on their promise to &quot;flood&quot; Gaza with aid. We are concerned at reports of humanitarian agencies being unable to do their jobs because of visa restrictions. We are calling for the full co-operation of Israel with the UN and humanitarian agencies to grant visas and allow for the unfettered access required by humanitarians.</p> more like this

We will support the Civil Service with the necessary tools to ensure it can deliver that change. The Government is committed to supporting individuals and businesses to work in ways that best suit their particular circumstances and whilst terms and conditions relating to hours of work are delegated to departments as individual employers, the Civil Service must ensure that it provides value for money for the public.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>This Government was elected on a manifesto that stressed a partnership approach with local authorities and an intention to stabilise the funding system, moving away from wasteful competition. Projects continue to receive funding where agreements are in place. Local places will rightly be seeking clarity on previous commitments of funding. The Government is giving full consideration to this matter, including the hard work undertaken on projects to date, and will continue to work with local authorities on projects in their area.</p> more like this
