In family proceedings the child\u2019s welfare is of paramount consideration and as part of its considerations the court is required to take the wishes and feelings of children into account, in line with their age and level of understanding.<\/p>
Cafcass ensure the child\u2019s voice is heard at the heart of the family court setting, in both public and private law proceedings. In order to ensure a child is involved in proceedings, Cafcass may provide the child the opportunity to write a letter or draw a picture to the judge in the case, the child may also be provided with the opportunity to meet with the judge. A Cafcass family court advisor will submit their own analysis of the evidence and ensure that the child\u2019s wishes and views are properly represented. We increased funding to the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (Cafcass) by £8.4 million in the last financial year.<\/p>
Part 16(2) of the Family Procedure Rules details that a child may be made a party to family court proceedings if it is in their best interests to do so. Where a child is made party to proceedings, a guardian or litigation friend will be appointed to safeguard the child\u2019s interests. Under part 16(6) of the rules the court may grant a child the right to conduct proceedings without a guardian or litigation friend so long as the court is satisfied the child has sufficient understanding to participate as a party.<\/p>
In response to the Harm Panel report, the Government committed to exploring how to enhance the voice of the child in private law proceedings to ensure children\u2019s wishes and views are central to proceedings concerning them. This includes the launch of the Integrated Domestic Abuse Court pilots in February 2022 where we are trialling a new model which in part aims to enhance the \u2018voice of the child\u2019 in proceedings. As part of the evaluation of the pilots we will be working with partners and stakeholders to assess methods of child engagement and understand more about how and when children want to be involved in the court process.<\/p>

There are no plans to introduce a mandatory registration scheme for off-road quad bikes. Such a scheme would place a burden and cost on law abiding citizens who would be most impacted by the requirements. It is also unlikely to tackle dangerous or anti-social use.<\/p>

While the seismic impact of the pandemic on the UK economy has forced us to take tough but necessary decisions, the UK remains a longstanding supporter to the United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) and values its importance as a vital humanitarian and stabilising force in the region. In the financial year 2022/2023, the UK provided UNRWA with £18.7 million and in 2023/4 our funding is approximately £10 million. Our annual contribution to their programme budget helps UNRWA provide education to over 533,000 children a year (half of them girls), and access to health services for 3.5 million Palestinian refugees. We are aware of UNRWA's financial challenges and frequently raise this with MENA regional partners at ministerial level, most recently with the government of the United Arab Emirates. To that end, the UK Government is working with UNRWA and other international donors to help ensure its sustainability.<\/p>"}

We have long supported resolutions consistent with our policy, including United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334. The UK's position on settlements is clear: they are illegal under international law, present an obstacle to peace, threaten the physical viability of a two-state solution and indeed contribute to the negative trends that imperil the two-state solution. We urge Israel to halt settlement expansion immediately and we continue to monitor the changes to the settlement approval process instituted by the Government of Israel on June 18, which facilitate swifter approval of construction in settlements.<\/p>"}

The UK is clear that in all but the most exceptional of circumstances, demolitions and evictions are contrary to international humanitarian law. Our opposition to the demolition of Palestinian property is long-standing. The practice causes unnecessary suffering and is harmful to efforts to promote peace. We repeatedly call on Israel to abide by its obligations under international law and have a regular dialogue with Israel on legal issues relating to the occupation. Most recently, on 7 May, The Minister of State for the Middle East, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon wrote to the Israeli Ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, to express the government's opposition to the demolition of Jubbet Adh Dhib school. Lord Ahmad has also visited a school under threat of demolition in Masafer Yatta during his visit to the Occupied Palestinian Territories in January.<\/p>"}
