Israel and Palestine

Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the implications for the quartet's Middle East envoy, Tony Blair, of the appointment of Senator George Mitchell.

The UK welcomes the appointment of Senator Mitchell. We do not see any implication for the role of Tony Blair, who focuses on improving the day to day life of Palestinians. We look forward to working with both Senator Mitchell and Tony Blair to make real progress towards peace in 2009.
