answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2021 answer text We want to ensure that the whole of the UK can benefit from Freeports. The UK Government is holding ongoing discussions with the Northern Ireland Executive to establish at least one Freeport in Northern Ireland as soon as possible.<p> </p><p>The Northern Ireland Protocol does not prevent the establishment of Freeports in Northern Ireland. However, it is appropriate that we take the time, working with the Northern Ireland Executive, to ensure the Freeport offer fully aligns with the circumstances in Northern Ireland and our international obligations, and delivers for ports, businesses and communities in Northern Ireland.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 23/03/2021 14:29:20 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report by the UN Human Rights Council, Report of the independent international commission of inquiry on the protests in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, published on 28 February, in particular the finding that the government of Israel targeted unarmed civilians, including children, journalists and medical personnel; and what steps they intend to take to protect civilians in Gaza from such violations of international law.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>The UK fully supports the need for an independent and transparent investigation into recent events in Gaza. We have repeatedly made clear to Israel our concerns about the use of live ammunition by the Israel Defense Forces to respond to protests in Gaza. In particular we have stressed the importance of protecting civilians, especially children and medical personnel. We have also been clear that Israel has the right to protect itself, as it is plain that Hamas and its operatives had been exploiting the protests for their own benefit. While the Human Rights Council report looks into Israel's actions, it is highly regrettable the Commission of Inquiry Report does not look comprehensively at the actions of non-state actors such as Hamas.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 14/03/2019 14:18:14 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
