uin	HL4425
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2015 answer text <p>The biggest impediments to Palestinian economic progress are the Israeli-imposed movement and access restrictions. The current movement and access restrictions relating to Gaza are leading to a stagnated economy and worsening situation for the people living there. An improved economy is not only essential for the people of Gaza, but is firmly in Israel’s security interests. We have consistently called on Israel to improve movement and access into and out of Gaza, including extending operating times at Kerem Shalom and will continue to do so.</p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 21/12/2015 14:26:59 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma
