Alistair Burt
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency has a unique role in protecting and providing essential services for 5 million Palestinian refugees. We are deeply concerned about the impact of potential cuts in US funding on stability in the region, and about the continuity of UNRWA’s vital services. We will go on supporting them.
Theresa Villiers (Chipping Barnet) (Con)
What action is the Minister taking to ensure that no taxpayers’ money from DFID ever ends up in the pockets of convicted terrorists?
Alistair Burt
It just does not. We do not give aid to terrorists, and the Palestinian Authority knows that.
