Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what reports they have received from UN personnel who have visited the silt island of Bhasan Char about the suitability of the island for accommodating up to 100,000 Rohingya refugees.
This question was answered on 17th December 2018
We have made clear to the government of Bangladesh that any relocation of refugees must be safe, dignified and meet international humanitarian principles and standards. The Government of Bangladesh and humanitarian agencies have formed a working group. A UN led technical assessment of the island is a priority to understand the viability of the relocation proposal.
