tabling member constituency	Bristol North West

uin	181045
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>The UK opposes these evictions. Demolitions and evictions of Palestinians from their homes cause unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians; call into question Israel's commitment to a viable two-state solution; and in all but the most exceptional of cases, demolitions by an occupying power are contrary to International Humanitarian Law. The Minister of State for the Middle East, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon, reiterated this position to Israeli Foreign Minister Cohen during his visit to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories in January, at which time he also visited a UK-donor funded school in Masafer Yatta. Lord Ahmad has also raised the issue of demolitions with Israeli Ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, in subsequent meetings. The UK continues to provide financial and political support for communities like those in Masafer Yatta through its contributions to the West Bank Political Consortium and staff at the British Consulate General in Jerusalem make regular working-level visits to Masafer Yatta, most recently on 16 April.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 24/04/2023 14:56:45 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>The Department through its Direct Air Capture and Greenhouse Gas Removal Innovation Programme is supporting five biochar pilot demonstrators for carbon capture, at a value of £18.7million, to be completed by March 2025. UK Research &amp; Innovation (UKRI) is also funding a biochar demonstrator project that will investigate the stability of biochar, as well as its impacts on the environment and soil ecosystems, in different UK land management scenarios. Use of biochar as a technology is at an early stage of development and therefore deployment potential, costs and possible side-effects from use are uncertain. Results from the projects supported will help to inform future government policy on biochar as a greenhouse gas removal method.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 24/04/2023 15:15:20 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>Due to the dispersed and/or isolated nature of many of the households living on boats and in caravans not on registered sites, it is difficult to estimate the exact number of individuals who are unable to receive the Energy Bill Support Scheme. Officials are also working to establish whether there is a robust method for these households to provide proof of eligibility, whilst protecting public funds, so they can claim the EBSS payment.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Derby North answering member printed Amanda Solloway question first answered 24/04/2023 15:15:28 answering member 4372 label Biography information for Amanda Solloway
