answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2018 answer text <p>The UK Government was very concerned at some of the allegations outlined in the IMPACT-SE report. We are therefore working to commission a robust study into the new Palestinian textbooks. Our assessment is that the IMPACT-SE report was not objective in its findings and lacked methodological rigour. For example, some claims were made on the basis of a partial or subjective reading of the text, some findings are presented out of context, and there was limited information available about the sampling approach to select textbooks to analyse.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/09/2018 16:42:08 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

Our partnership with the Palestinian Authority (PA) includes a commitment from the Palestinian leadership to adhere to the principle of non-violence and to tackle language and avoid actions that could incite violence or hatred.

The UK continues to urge the Palestinian leadership to uphold this principle of non-violence.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 23/07/2018 16:10:49 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
