answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2015 answer text <p>The Government is deeply concerned about the proposals to demolish Bedouin villages in Israel. I visited the Khan al Ahmer Bedouin during my visit in October 2014 and saw at first hand the devestating impact resettlement plans had on the communities. Officials at our Embassy in Tel Aviv are monitoring the situation closely, including the case of the Um Il Hiran and Ateer. Embassy officials have been in contact with the Adalah Legal Centre who have continued to provide updates on the legal situation. They have also been in contact with other organisations that work within the Bedouin community, such as Itach-Maaki and The Arab-Jewish Center for Equality, Empowerment and Cooperation-Negev Institute for Strategies of Peace and Development, to best inform the UK’s lobbying of the Israeli authorities on this issue.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 04/06/2015 13:27:55 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

Separately the Prime Minister, my right hon.

Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) further with Foreign Minister Samaraweera in March.</p><p>We were encouraged by the Sri Lankan government’s February commitment to co-operate with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), and to establish a credible domestic process to investigate incidents of alleged war crimes and hold individuals to account. As Sri Lanka returns to the UN Human Rights Council in September for discussion it will be important for Sri Lanka to show real progress on this important matter.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 04/06/2015 13:45:54 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
