answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2024 answer text <p>We regularly discuss issues related to the school curriculum and textbooks with the Palestinian Authority (PA) and UNRWA. The UK-supported 2021 review of the PA curriculum found improvements in content, with previously flagged materials removed. But it also indicated that problematic content remains in Palestinian textbooks: we therefore need to see further curriculum reform from the PA, and we continue to raise this with them regularly. UNRWA and the PA are engaging seriously on this issue.</p><p>Antisemitism is abhorrent and has absolutely no place in any society, and we are committed to tackling it in all its forms.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/04/2024 10:39:16 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL3700
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2022 answer text <p>The Yazidi community has suffered immense pain and loss as a result of the abhorrent crimes inflicted by Daesh. The UK advocated strongly for the passing of the Yazidi Survivors' Law in March 2021 and the establishment of the Directorate of Yazidi Affairs. The Directorate is responsible for searching for survivors and supporting judicial and investigative bodies on holding perpetrators to account. In parallel, we have also provided £2 million to the UN Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Daesh (UNITAD). The UK joined likeminded partners in committing to support Yazidis displaced or abducted by Daesh in a Joint alliance statement issued in October 2021. We will continue to press the newly formed government on the importance of these issues, including searching for those missing Yazidi women and children abducted by Daesh.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 07/12/2022 13:39:37 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2020 answer text <p>The UK is one of the largest contributors to the international humanitarian response and has committed £261 million in humanitarian support to Iraq since 2014 through multilateral and NGO partners. This has provided a vital lifeline to millions who are most urgently in need following the conflict with Daesh. The UK does not currently provide direct funding to Makhmur camp. We are in regular contact with the Government of Iraq and Kurdistan Regional Government to ensure humanitarian assistance reaches those most in need and that authorities at all levels seek durable solutions for those displaced by conflict, which are safe, voluntary and sustainable.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 14/05/2020 15:57:45 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2014 answer text <p>The design of traffic management schemes, including whether to install a shared space scheme, is the responsibility of local authorities. Shared space may incorporate what are sometimes called ‘courtesy crossings’, but these have no formal definition. They are similar in principle to informal dropped kerb crossings, which can be used to provide a crossing place where a controlled crossing is not justified.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport’s guidance on shared space schemes is given in the attached Local Transport Note 1/11: Shared Space.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has also circulated to local authorities guidance produced by the National Federation for the Blind on ‘Access for Blind People in Towns’.</p><p> </p><p>The Department receives correspondence on issues relating to all aspects of traffic management, including shared space. The correspondents range from individual members of the public to local authorities, engineering practitioners, and campaign groups.</p><p> </p><p>The Department’s road safety statistics do not record whether an incident took place on a courtesy crossing, as these are not defined.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer grouped question UIN HL3699 HL3701 question first answered 18/12/2014 13:11:03 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer attachment 1 file name HL3699 - Local Transport Note 1-11.pdf title Local Transport Note 1/11
