To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what estimate she has made of the level of funding from the public purse that had been spent on Palestinian structures in Area C of the West Bank that have been demolished by Israel.

No structures directly funded by the UK in recent years have been demolished. A number of structures funded by the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO) have been demolished in recent years. The UK’s financing share of EU expenditure varies year on year but has been approximately 15%. The UK regularly raises demolitions with the government of Israel.
