Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department is taking steps to help ensure that Palestinian civilians can secure safe passage out of Gaza.
Answered by David Rutley
Our focus is on securing safe and unimpeded humanitarian access and the UK is leading calls for humanitarian pauses and for the opening of the Kerem Shalom crossing to facilitate delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The UK Government is at the forefront of the global efforts to help Palestinian people access the vital support they need and has committed an additional £30 million of aid for the Occupied Palestinian Territories to help provide essential relief items such as food, water and shelter. This funding will allow key UN agencies and trusted partners to provide essential relief items and services.

Answered by Anne-Marie Trevelyan
As laid out by the Foreign Secretary on 25 April in his Mansion House Speech, we will always put our national security first and are committed to strengthening national security protections wherever Beijing’s actions pose a threat to our people or our prosperity. And to protect the UK from hostile state activity from any country, we are introducing the National Security Bill.
