In this case, the reference to Sustainable Land and Soils Grant funded the Trees for Schools scheme, which the Woodland Trust ran from 2016-2020. The scheme was evaluated independently at the time. It delivered over 450,000 trees to primary schools across England and is estimated to have helped connect over 300,000 children with nature.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 22/09/2023 09:18:42 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Mark Spencer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2023 answer text <p>Our sympathies are with Ameed al-Jaghoub and his family. While we have not discussed this specific incident with the Israeli Government, the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli security forces in the West Bank and Gaza is too high. In our dialogue with the Israeli authorities, whilst we have recognised their legitimate need to deploy security measures to address violence, we remind them that such deployments are done to minimise tension and use appropriate force. When there have been accusations of excessive use of force, we have advocated swift, transparent investigations. Israel must abide by its obligations under international law, and we have a regular dialogue with Israel on legal issues relating to the occupation. As the occupying power, we urge Israel to fulfil its responsibilities, including ensuring the protection of the civilian population. I, (Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon), made this clear most recently in a meeting with the Israeli chargé d'affaires on July 4.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/09/2023 13:30:51 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
