answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2021 answer text <p>The UK Government strongly condemns all forms of violence and incitement to violence, including the use of racist, hateful or anti-Palestinian language and any actions that could stir up hatred and prejudice. We are concerned by the number of Palestinians, including children, killed in the West Bank and Gaza. In instances where there have been accusations of excessive use of force, we urge the Government of Israel to conduct swift and transparent investigations. We welcome the efforts of Israeli authorities to address settler violence, and urge them to thoroughly investigate every instance to bring those responsible to justice and end the culture of impunity. We continue to stress the importance of the Israeli security forces providing appropriate protection to the Palestinian civilian population.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/07/2021 14:00:27 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

Prosecutions and Convictions instigated for oils offences since 2014 were as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>Up to September 2016</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Prosecutions</p></td><td><p>34</p></td><td><p>37</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Convictions</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>23</p></td><td><p>12</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The figures for prosecutions and convictions in any particular year do not correspond as investigations and prosecutions do not always reach conclusion in the year that they commence.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 26/10/2016 14:16:20 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
