answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2017 answer text <p>I have raised the issue of refugee returns on several occasions with the Government of Lebanon, including during a visit to Lebanon in October 2017, where I met with President Michel Aoun and Prime Minister Saad Hariri, among others. I also discussed the issue with Education Minister Marwan Hamade and Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil when they visited the UK in November. The UK is committed to ensuring that any refugee returns to Syria take place voluntarily, in safety and dignity, in line with international law. We do not support forced returns and will not support any returns before Syria or parts of Syria are declared safe by the United Nations. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees does not currently consider conditions to be in place for refugees to return to Syria in safety and dignity.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 14/12/2017 17:39:49 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2017 answer text <p>No UK aid is used for payments to Palestinian prisoners or their families. UK financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority is only used to help to pay the salaries of health and education public servants in the West Bank. Only named public servants from a pre-approved EU list are eligible and a robust verification system validates that funds are used for the intended purposes. The UK government strongly condemns all forms of violence and incitement to violence.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/12/2017 15:58:31 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2017 answer text <p>We are gravely concerned by the continued demolition of Palestinian property by the Israeli authorities. No structures directly funded by the UK in recent years have been demolished. A number of structures funded by the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO) have been demolished in recent years. The UK’s financing share of EU expenditure varies year on year but has been approximately 15%. The UK regularly raises demolitions with the Government of Israel.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 14/12/2017 17:40:55 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2017 answer text <p>The UK is not providing the Government of Jordan with direct support to help with Palestinian refugees. However, the UK is a long-term supporter of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which has a unique role to protect and provide essential services to over 5 million Palestinian refugees across the Middle East. In the current financial year, we will provide £38 million towards UNRWA’s Programme Budget, which will enable UNRWA to support Palestinian refugees across the region, including in Jordan. Additionally, the UK provides significant support to Jordan to improve education access and quality and create economic opportunities, which will benefit people throughout Jordan, including Palestinians.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 14/12/2017 17:41:27 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
