Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv did so most recently on 16 December 2019. We remain committed to working with Israel to secure improvements to the practices surrounding children in detention. We welcome the recent reduction in the number of detainees aged 12 to 14 years old and the establishment of separate juvenile courts.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 29/01/2020 13:56:32 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
