answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2014 answer text <p>The Government has supported the establishment of the Office of the Ministry of Interior’s Ombudsman and the Prisoners’ and Detainees’ Rights Commission (PDRC) in Bahrain through the provision of UK training and expertise. In 2013, we funded Northern Ireland Cooperation Overseas’ (NICO) work with the Office of the Police Ombudsman on several priority areas. This included sharing UK best practice on complaints procedures, investigation reports and the role of prison inspection. We have built on this work, and since early 2014 we have been supporting NICO to deliver a 15 month package of support to help build the capacity of the Ombudsman's Office, increase accountability and public confidence. We have also provided UK-based training to all PDRC members through Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) including sharing best practice on inspection procedures.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/12/2014 14:38:56 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

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Anelay of St Johns on 17 November (HL2757), whether they plan to encourage international prosecution of settlement building as being a war crime according to the Rome Statute, in order to make possible a viable Palestinian state.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL3498
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2014 answer text <p>We have repeatedly condemned settlement announcements and will continue to call on the Israeli authorities to cease all settlement building and to remove illegal outposts, as required under international law. We continue to believe that negotiations toward a two-state solution are the best route to meeting Palestinian aspirations in reality and on the ground. We judge that attempts to seek International Criminal Court jurisdiction over the Occupied Territories at this stage could make a resumption of negotiations more difficult.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/12/2014 14:40:38 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
