answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2019 answer text <p>Whilst prisoners and their families have a right to support in line with their social needs as they would in the UK, we use our strong partnership with the Palestinian Authority (PA) to lobby them to reform the prisoner payments system to become more needs-based, transparent and affordable. Minister of State for the Middle East, Alistair Burt, has raised these concerns with the Palestinian Foreign Minister, and British Government officials regularly do likewise. No UK aid is used for prisoner payments to Palestinian prisoners or their families.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/02/2019 12:32:03 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
