answer text: The UK provides financial and technical assistance to the Palestinian Authority (PA). President Abbas underlined during his recent visit to the UK his commitment to peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the 2010-11 financial year, the Department for International Development's (DFID) support has totalled £31.1 million: £30 million in direct financial assistance and £1.1 million for technical assistance to the Ministries of Planning and Finance.In addition the UK is supporting capacity building and leadership training for the Palestinian Authority Security Forces. Support in the 2010-11 financial year (from a tri-departmental conflict pool) totalled £2.759 million. The majority of this work is delivered by the British support team in Ramallah, which works with the PA to raise the standards of the security agencies. This includes International Committee of the Red Cross human rights training for senior and intermediate PA security officers.The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, DFID and HM Treasury work closely on these issues at both official and ministerial level.
