Syria: Refugees

Wednesday 16th December 2015

Asked by: Lord Davies of Gower (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much her Department has spent on humanitarian assistance in (a) Syria and (b) neighbouring countries receiving Syrian refugees in the last two years.

Answered by Justine Greening

In the financial year 2014/15, the UK spent just under £150 million in humanitarian assistance inside Syria and around £125 million in the surrounding region. This has provided lifesaving support and helped ensure Syrian children can remain in education.
