South Africa: Hamas Asked by: Baroness Whitaker (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 5th March 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of South Africa's relationship with the proscribed terrorist organisation Hamas, and the statements of support for Hamas by former ANC minister Ronnie Kasrils. Answered by Lord Benyon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) We are clear with South Africa that Hamas are a proscribed terrorist organisation by the UK. Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas in line with International Humanitarian Law, as we have said from the outset. The vital elements for a lasting peace include the release of all hostages; the formation of a new Palestinian Government for the West Bank and Gaza, accompanied by an international support package; removing Hamas's capacity to launch attacks against Israel; Hamas no longer being in charge of Gaza; and a political horizon which provides a credible and irreversible pathway towards a two-state solution.
General Practitioners: Surveys Asked by: Baroness Whitaker (Labour - Life peer) Monday 11th March 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to request that Ipsos includes a category of "Speech, Language, and Communication Difficulties” in the annual GP Patient Survey. Answered by Lord Markham - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The 2024 GP Patient Survey includes a question on long-term conditions, which currently lists 15 such conditions. ‘Speech, Language, and Communication Difficulties’ is not one of the specific options listed in this question in the 2024 survey. We appreciate that there are many people in England who are living with speech, language, and communication difficulties. We must strike a careful balance between breadth of coverage and the availability of space in the questionnaire. Anyone who is living with a long-term condition which is not listed is able to select ‘Another long-term condition’. However, we record all questionnaire feedback given to us and take it into account when we review the survey every year.
