This enables around 25,000 young Palestinians to get an education, provides up to 3,700 immunisations for children, and around 185,000 medical consultations annually.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 23/10/2017 16:31:29 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
