answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2014 answer text <p>We welcome the mechanism agreed by Israel, the Palestinian Authority and the UN to facilitate the import of construction materials.

Only then will donors have the assurances they need to be able to support the reconstruction effort.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 13/10/2014 16:32:35 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
