answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2017 answer text <p>​We have not made any assessment on this issue, as we do not make representations on behalf of British nationals, including parliamentarians, wishing to travel to Gaza. Parliamentarians should be aware that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office advises against all travel to Gaza. Entry and exit from Gaza is difficult and can, at times, be impossible. Entry is through either Israel, with permission from the Israeli authorities, or Egypt, with permission from the Egyptian authorities (although this border has been closed almost entirely since October 2014).</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 19/01/2017 14:16:39 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
