I have been asked to reply.The UK does not provide any support, either directly or indirectly, to the de facto authorities in Gaza, as under European Union and British legislation it is illegal to provide financial assistance to Hamas. We provide budget support to the Palestinian Authority, via a World Bank Trust Fund, in order to support basic services and pay the salaries of public sector workers in both Gaza and the west bank. From 2006-08, the UK provided funding to pay public sector worker salaries through two European Union programmes known as the Temporary International Mechanism (TIM) and PEGASE. As this funding is for the whole of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, it is not possible to disaggregate funding specific to Gaza. The following table lays out total UK funding for these programmes.<Table width="100%" summary="" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" border="0"><TR><TD>Calendar year</TD><TD>Programme</TD><TD>Amount (£ million)</TD></TR><TR><TD>2010</TD><TD>World Bank Trust Fund</TD><TD>30</TD></TR><TR><TD>2009</TD><TD>World Bank Trust Fund</TD><TD>30</TD></TR><TR><TD>2008</TD><TD>World Bank Trust Fund</TD><TD>35</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD><TD>PEGASE</TD><TD>15.45</TD></TR><TR><TD>2007</TD><TD>TIM</TD><TD>3</TD></TR><TR><TD>2006</TD><TD>TIM</TD><TD>11.875</TD></TR></Table>
