<p><del class="ministerial">It has not proved possible to respond to this question
in the time available before Prorogation. Ministers will correspond directly with
the Member.</del></p><p><ins class="ministerial">We regularly make clear our serious
concerns about the situation in East Jerusalem to the Israeli authorities, both bilaterally
and in co-operation with EU partners. These concerns include the evictions of Palestinians
and demolition of Palestinian property; the construction of illegal Israeli settlements;
removal of residency rights from Palestinians; possible unilateral changes to the
municipal borders; and severe difficulties of access to Jerusalem for Palestinians
from the West Bank or even for those residents of Jerusalem who live beyond the Separation
Barrier.</ins></p>
