Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will ask the government of Egypt when the Rafah crossing point at the buffer zone adjoining the Gaza strip will be reopened.

This question was answered on 1st December 2014
The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), asked when the Rafah crossing might be reopened when he met the Egyptian Foreign Minister on 27 October and again on 18 November. We continue to raise this issue in our contacts with the Egyptian government.
