answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2016 answer text <p>The UK remains concerned by reports of Israeli restrictions on the water supply for Palestinians in the West Bank. UK officials are in regular dialogue with Israel, the Palestinian Authority, the UN, World Bank, EU and other development actors on this issue. The UK continues to stress the urgent need for Israel to take immediate and practical measures to improve the current situation and ensure fair distribution of water in the West Bank and Gaza. The UK encourages both parties to find a swift resolution to this issue and to reconvene the Joint Water Committee to facilitate approval of projects that will improve Palestinian access to water.</p><p>The Department for International Development is funding a UNICEF programme to lead on developing and updating the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) Water Sanitation and Hygiene Sector Contingency Plan at the national level. This brings together the Palestinian Water Authority and other partners to monitor the water situation in the OPTs and ensure preparedness and effective response in case of an emergency.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 09/11/2016 17:14:38 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

uin	HL2849
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2016 answer text <p>We have not raised this specific issue with the Israeli authorities. The UK Government continues to argue for a just outcome for all the people affected by illegal settlement construction. The UK’s position on settlements is clear: they are illegal under international law, present an obstacle to peace and take us further away from a two state solution. We regularly raise our concerns on this issue and strongly urge the government of Israel to reverse its systematic policy of settlement expansion.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 14/11/2016 16:46:08 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
