answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2018 answer text <p>​At this highly sensitive time in the region, there is an urgent need to restart the peace process between Israelis and Palestinians. After the recent outbreak of violence, I called for everyone to step back from the brink and to avoid escalating the situation further. We continue to urge restraint from all parties and welcome the return to calm in recent days. We strongly support the mediation efforts of the international community led by Egypt and the UN and urge continued talks aimed at finding an enduring peace in Gaza under the control of the Palestinian Authority. We regularly press both parties to resume direct negotiations towards a two-state solution. I last discussed the Middle East Peace Process with the Israeli Ambassador to the UK on 11 October.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 23/11/2018 12:00:25 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2018 answer text <p>Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) are not applications for funding.

The Department is providing technical support on LCWIPS to 46 local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 23/11/2018 11:30:12 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
