answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text <p>​No. The issue of reparations was considered in detail immediately after World War II at the Paris Reparations Conference of 1945, with international agreement set down in the Final Act of the Conference, which came into force on 24 January 1946. Furthermore the Treaty on the Final Settlement with respect to Germany, signed by the British Government in 1990, renounced all claims the UK and other allied powers had in Germany, allowing Germany to become fully sovereign.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 27/03/2018 15:15:27 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

uin	133916
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text While the Foreign Secretary has not recently discussed this specific issue with his Israeli counterpart, our Embassy in Tel Aviv and our Consulate-General in Jerusalem frequently urge both the Israeli and Palestinian authorities to take steps to improve conditions in Gaza. Every Israeli and Palestinian has the right to live in peace and security. We strongly condemn the recent attempted assassination of Prime Minister Hamdallah on 13 March, for which there is no justification. The UK continues to support the return of the legitimate Palestinian Authority to Gaza. We urge non-violence, dialogue and progress towards a sustainable Hamas-Fatah reconciliation and an improvement in the humanitarian situation in Gaza. answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 27/03/2018 17:16:05 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt previous answer version 50223 answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
