answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2023 answer text <p>Civilians displaced from the north of Gaza should only return home only when it is safe to do so and in a dignified and voluntary manner.</p><p>The FCDO is actively engaging with international partners and those operating on the ground to do all we can to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary engage regularly and closely with regional counterparts including Israel and Egypt on the humanitarian response. However, the flow of aid into and through Gaza continues to be insufficient and we are urgently exploring all diplomatic options to increase this, including urging Israel to open other existing land border crossings such as Kerem Shalom. Fuel remains a critical component - without sufficient aid, fuel cannot be distributed by humanitarian organisations and hospitals, bakeries as well as desalination plants cannot operate. We are also actively exploring other routes for aid to get into Gaza. The UK Government has already announced £60 million in humanitarian funding and has sent more than 74 tonnes of emergency relief for civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley grouped question UIN 4310 question first answered 06/12/2023 17:02:29 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2023 answer text <p>The organisations eligible for the Energy and Trade Intensive Industries scheme are those operating within sectors that fall above the 80th percentile for energy intensity and 60th percentile for trade intensity, as per ONS trade data, and those within sectors eligible for the existing Energy Intensive Industries compensation schemes. Both of those thresholds must be met to warrant inclusion, meaning that some energy intensive sectors, which are not significantly trade intensive like swimming pools and leisure centre, will not be eligible for support. The definition used for trade intensity is the international trade in goods in relation to the sector’s turnover percentile of the criteria set for the enhanced support for Energy and Trade Intensive Industries.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 10/02/2023 10:01:56 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
