Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment she has made of the use by Hamas of (a) UK and (b) UN humanitarian aid.

The UK Government takes comprehensive measures to ensure that the projects it funds in Gaza do not breach European Union or UK counter terror legislation. We continue to take extensive precautions to ensure that Hamas does not derive any financial benefit from our projects, including by providing £0.5m to support the Materials Monitoring Unit (MMU) which oversees and monitors the import, storage, supply and use of construction materials into Gaza through the Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism.
