International Development written question – answered at on 12 June 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what arrangements are in place to monitor the use of funds given to the Palestinian Authority.
UK direct financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority is channelled through the World Bank Palestinian Reform and Development Plan Trust Fund and is used to pay the salaries of civil servants from an approved list. The list of individuals is systematically screened and checked against international (including Israeli) and ad hoc sanctions lists. The whole process is independently audited which ensures we know exactly where and how our money is being spent.
