answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>​The British Government is aware of the decision of the Israel Electric Corporation to cut power to parts of the West Bank, citing outstanding payments from Palestinian power distributors. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv raised this issue with the Israeli authorities on 30 October. We continue to urge both sides of the dispute to reach a prompt and pragmatic resolution, ensuring minimum disruption to the lives of ordinary Palestinians. We recognise the need for improvements in infrastructure, employment, energy and water supply to improve living conditions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/11/2019 16:28:30 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
