HC Deb 06 May 1994 vol 242 c672W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are the terms of the agreement between Turkey and Israel about the supply of water from Turkey to the Gaza strip for the needs of Palestinians; and if he will send congratulations to both parties on this contribution to the peace process.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

We understand that when the Israeli Foreign Minister visited Turkey in April, water was one of the main topics of discussion. It was agreed that Israel should join the Manavgat water project. However, we are not aware of any agreement between Israel and Turkey to supply water from Turkey to the Gaza strip.
