answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/12/2023 answer text <p>The UK is committed to working with Israel to secure improvements in detention practices in Israel. We have made plain our concern about the continued reports of ill-treatment of Palestinian detainees in Israeli military detention, particularly of children. Reports of the heavy use of painful restraints and the high number of Palestinian children who are not informed of their legal rights, in contravention of Israel's own regulations, are particularly troubling. The UK repeatedly calls on Israel to abide by its obligations under international law and we have a regular dialogue with Israel on legal issues relating to the occupation.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 29/12/2023 14:51:40 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bates on 25 June (HL714), why information about the cost of security protection for former Prime Ministers and Deputy Prime Ministers could compromise the security of the individuals concerned; and whether such security protection extends to when they are abroad.
tabling member printed	Lord Stoddart of Swindon
uin	HL1110
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2015 answer text <p>I refer to my previous written answer: disclosure of such information could compromise the integrity of and affect the security of the individuals concerned. Disclosing such details would not only reveal tactical policing decisions, but would compromise the safety of those arrangements since it would enable those wishing to circumvent them to form an assessment of the level of policing and protection being provided. Decisions about the protective security of former Prime Ministers abroad are made by the Cabinet Office chaired, Royal and Ministerial Visits Committee for Overseas Travel.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 14/07/2015 13:26:42 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
