Written Question
Thursday 21st September 2017
Asked by:
Lord Naseby (Conservative - Life peer)
Question
to the Department for International Development:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many medical doctors they have sent to assist in the disaster zone affected by Hurricane Irma; when those doctors left the UK; and where they went.
Answered by Lord Bates
DFID is liaising urgently with governments in the region to understand their needs for medical staff. We are also working with the Department of Health, and Public Health England to carry out needs assessments and UK medical experts are standing by to deploy as required and if requested by local governments.
DFID has already offered up to £2.5 million to the Pan American Health Organisation, which is supporting them to provide health services including deployment of medical staff to the region.
The Government will continue to do all it can to support those affected.

Question
to the Department for International Development:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what additional aid they have offered to Sri Lanka to help cope with the severe drought and floods which have affected over one million people.
Answered by Lord Bates
Our assessment is that the crisis in Sri Lanka is being adequately managed through existing mechanisms in Sri Lanka, including the Government’s National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) and humanitarian agencies on the ground, including the Sri Lankan Red Cross Society. The UK provides significant amounts of funding to UN humanitarian emergency agencies (such as UNHCR, UNICEF and WFP), the EU’s humanitarian emergency response agency (ECHO) and the Red Cross, all of whom are contributing to the response. At the moment therefore we do not anticipate that a bilateral response from the UK will be needed. Other countries in the region are also providing assistance, and the US and EU have offered their support.

Asked by:
Lord Naseby (Conservative - Life peer)
Question
to the Department for International Development:
Her Majesty's Government whether any official aid money has been or is planned to be allocated to North Korea; and if so for what purpose.
Answered by Lord Bates
The Government condemns both the persistent widespread human rights abuses of the North Korean regime and the consistent attempts of that regime to develop nuclear weapons in defiance of international law. No UK money goes directly to the regime in North Korea, and there is no DFID bilateral aid programme. A number of multilateral agencies that work in North Korea receive funding via the UK’s core contributions to these organisations. The FCO scaled back project work after the fourth nuclear test – but continues to fund some small-scale projects aimed at improving the lives of the most vulnerable in DPRK society. This will be kept under review.

Iraq: Displaced Minority Communities
