HC Deb 23 November 2000 vol 357 c266W
Dr. Starkey

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what discussions her Department has had with the Palestinian Authority to provide alternative education facilities to replace those schools unable to operate at present. [138713]

Mr. Foulkes

None. The majority of Palestinian schools were closed only until 7 October. For those children whose schools remain closed the Palestinian Authority has made its own contingency arrangements, wherever possible, to provide schooling at alternative locations.
