question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the UN Secretary-General's appeal on 14 October for safe access for civilians in need in north-east Syria; and what assessment they have made of whether the ceasefire in that area (1) is being respected, and (2) will be fully supervised and made permanent.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>​We welcome the UN Secretary-General's statement on 14 October for safe access for civilians in need in north-east Syria. Our assessment is that the ceasefire in north-east Syria continues to broadly hold, and we welcome the fact that Turkey has confirmed it has no plans for a further offensive. Implementation of the ceasefire is for the parties directly involved but we have made clear our expectation that all parties abide by the agreed ceasefire, which we wish to see become permanent, and by their obligations under international humanitarian law.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/11/2019 17:20:21 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

Those who are moved on from camps are provided with the option of transport to asylum centres where their claims can be lodged and considered expediently. Within these centres, individuals are provided with any medical and administrative support they require. The Sandhurst Treaty and associated funding has supported this work. The UK and France will continue to collaborate in response to this issue, ensuring that the necessary support is delivered whilst upholding border security at our shared border.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 05/11/2019 17:46:05 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 29 October (HL109), how many repatriations of British citizens or residents now in Syria, in particular in the north-east, have so far been achieved through their case-by-case approach; and whether they are seeking the help of both non-governmental organisations and international organisations to ensure the process supports those people affected effectively.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL510
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2019 answer text <p>​We do not routinely comment on individual cases. We can confirm that in the last 12 months there have been a small number of British children who have left Syria and returned to the UK via third countries. As a matter of general policy, we provide consular assistance to British Nationals not UK residents. The UK has no consular presence within Syria from which to provide assistance. Each case is considered on an individual basis. As the Foreign Secretary has said, the Government will work with a range of partners in Syria and at home to facilitate the return of unaccompanied or orphan children where feasible and subject to national security concerns. This includes both non-governmental organisations and international organisations.'</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 04/11/2019 17:50:05 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL301
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2019 answer text <p>​Whilst we have not raised these specific cases, we urge Israel to respect the role of Palestinian institutions and politicians serving Palestinians in East Jerusalem. British ministers and officials continue to make repeated representations to the Israeli Government about their extensive use of administrative detentions. According to international law, these should be used only when security makes this absolutely necessary rather than as routine practice and as a preventive rather than a punitive measure. We call on the Israeli authorities to comply with their obligations under international law and either charge or release detainees.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/10/2019 16:39:12 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2019 answer text <p>​We regularly make clear our concerns to the Israeli authorities about the difficulties of access to Jerusalem for Palestinians from the West Bank. We are concerned by unilateral Israeli measures in East Jerusalem, including around the Palestinian village of Al-Walaja which threaten to restrict Palestinian access to their lands. We are also concerned by ongoing demolitions in the village.
