question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the current state of discussions with the relevant authority in Syria concerning compensation for those in Northern Ireland who were injured as a result of explosives and guns that were supplied to the IRA.
tabling member printed	Lord Laird
uin	HL3464
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2014 answer text We have been discussing this matter with the Libyan authorities, not the Syrian government. While we do not intend to negotiate a compensation settlement with the Libyan authorities, once stability returns, and our Embassy re-opens, we will again encourage the Libyans to engage with UK victims seeking redress, including those seeking compensation and their legal representatives. The Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), has said that he is committed to doing this and has asked the National Security Advisor to lead cross-government efforts to engage the Libyans on reconciliation initiatives. The Government will also continue to promote broad and lasting reconciliation between Libya and affected UK communities. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/12/2014 14:28:44 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with other European countries concerning the harvesting and ownership of Gaza’s gas fields.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL3495
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2014 answer text There are seven offshore gas fields off the coast of Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (Leviathan, Tamar, Dalit, Gaza Marine (aka Marine 1), Noa (aka Marine 2), Mari B and Nir). Currently, only the Mari B and Tamar fields, controlled by Israel, are being exploited. Marine 1/Gaza Marine lies entirely within the control of the Palestinian Authority. Marine 2/Noa straddles the Gaza/Israeli maritime border and so has been split on that basis into two fields: Noa South (under the control of the Palestinian Authority) and Noa (under the control of Israel). This issue has been discussed at EU level in the context of how to facilitate a sustainable and long-term solution to the energy crisis in Gaza. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/12/2014 15:51:18 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
