Palestine: Terrorism
Monday 13th July 2026

Asked by: Lord Leigh of Hurley (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the Palestinian Authority about (1) reforming, or (2) dismantling, the Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund in the period since the UK recognised the State of Palestine.

Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington

I refer the Noble Lord to the answer provided in the House of Commons on 3 March in response to Question 908079, which - for ease of reference - is reproduced below:

The Palestinian Authority has committed publicly to the principle of non-violence, including a new social security system that will ensure future welfare payments are needs-based and delinked from violent actions. An independent audit has been commissioned to verify the implementation of these and other reform commitments, and we will review the results when it is published.

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Lord Coaker on 21 May (HL Deb col 624), and in light of correspondence from the Foreign Secretary to the Chair of the International Development Committee on 1 September 2025 in which he stated that the Government has not concluded that Israel has acted with intent as set out in the Genocide Convention, what assessment they have made of  whether Genocide has taken place in Gaza.
