Latest 6 Written Questions
(View all written questions)Israeli settlements are illegal under international law, undermine the two-state solution, and contribute to instability and violence. We completely oppose the advertising of property or auctioning of land in those settlements, and we have updated advice to UK businesses to make clear that they should not engage in economic activity in illegal settlements, and warn them of the reputational and potentially legal consequences if they do so.
Minister of State (Cabinet Office) (Jointly with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
In both Lebanon and Palestine, we ensure that our humanitarian and recovery efforts recognise and address the specific needs of women and girls. For instance, in Palestine, our funding to the Occupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Fund and the United Nations Population Fund has supported women led organisations to deliver specialised interventions to support survivors of gender-based violence in Gaza. The UK will continue to advocate for the full, equal, meaningful and safe participation of women in political and peace processes in the region.

(View all Janet Daby's MHCLG questions)We recognise the difficulties facing some leaseholders in buildings under 11 metres who are being asked to pay significant cladding remediation costs. The Department’s investigations indicate that most buildings under 11 metres are safe and do not require cladding remediation, with risks often able to be addressed through lower-cost mitigations. However, as set out in the Remediation Acceleration Plan update, we remain committed to providing funding in specific circumstances where cladding remediation is needed to address life-critical fire safety risks from cladding. We intend to provide an update on this shortly.
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on pre court remands at criminal courts in England and Wales in the Remands data tool, that can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal Justice Statistics.
However, data held centrally does not include details on the circumstances around the release of a defendant held on remand.
This information may be held in court records but to examine individual court records would incur disproportionate costs.
