answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2024 answer text <p>We respect the role and independence of the ICJ. However, we have stated that we have considerable concerns about this case, which is not helpful in the goal of achieving a sustainable ceasefire. Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas in line with International Law, as we have said from the outset. Our view is that Israel's actions in Gaza cannot be described as a genocide, which is why we thought South Africa's decision to bring the case was wrong and provocative.</p><p>The court's call for the immediate release of hostages and the need to get more aid into Gaza is a position we have long advocated.</p><p>We are clear that an immediate pause is necessary to get aid in and hostages out, and then we want to build towards a sustainable, permanent ceasefire, without a return to the fighting.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 07/02/2024 17:46:29 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2024 answer text <p>Following the tragic death of Awaab Ishak, the Secretary of State wrote to all providers of social housing and to all local authority chief executives, including Leicester City Council. In these letters the Secretary of State set out his expectation that providers should go further than the letter of the Decent Homes Standard, and have particular regard to damp and mould, and that local authorities should take action to resolve poor housing conditions in their area.</p><p>All landlords have legal obligations to remedy disrepair, ensure homes are fit for human habitation and to ensure that homes are free of health and safety hazards at the most dangerous ‘category 1’ level. This includes damp and mould. As a registered provider of social housing, Leicester City Council is also required to ensure its homes meet the Decent Homes Standard.</p> answering member constituency Redcar answering member printed Jacob Young question first answered 31/01/2024 11:52:24 answering member 4825 label Biography information for Jacob Young
