The World Bank estimates that if Israeli restrictions were lifted in ‘Area C' of the West Bank alone, the Palestinian economy would expand by more than a third and potentially would not require international donor assistance.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Mr Alan Duncan question first answered 08/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
