Executions in Saudi Arabia

"We on this side of the House are appalled by, and utterly condemn, the execution of 81 Saudi men on Saturday. This massacre was the largest execution in Saudi Arabia’s history.

Bahraini Political Prisoners

"My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. I too have heard those allegations of the lack of advice prior to conviction.

Written Question
Developing Countries: Nutrition
Monday 25th October 2021

Asked by: Bambos Charalambous (Labour - Southgate and Wood Green)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will make an assessment of the effectiveness of her Department's nutrition-specific programmes, including (a) treatment for child wasting, (b) micro-nutrient supplementation, (c) malnutrition screening services and (d) support for breastfeeding.

Answered by Wendy Morton - Shadow Minister (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

FCDO undertakes reviews of all its programmes on an annual basis, including whether intended outcomes and impacts are being achieved. We also invest in evaluating our programmes to enable us to learn what works and to adapt our approaches accordingly.

In 2020 the Independent Commission for Aid Impact conducted a review of DFID's work on nutrition. This scored a green/amber rating and provided important insights into how we can further strengthen the work we do.

Written Question
Developing Countries: Coronavirus
Monday 25th October 2021

Asked by: Bambos Charalambous (Labour - Southgate and Wood Green)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she has made an assessment of the impact of covid-19 on the number of children expected to experience stunted growth as a result of malnutrition.

Answered by Wendy Morton - Shadow Minister (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

We have worked to strengthen monitoring of the impacts of COVID-19 on nutrition. This includes compiling evidence on the impact of COVID-19 on nutrition outcomes and interventions, including on disruptions of key services and food consumption patterns. Research shows that by the end of 2022, COVID-19 and related economic impacts could result in an estimated additional 9.3 million wasted and 2.6 million stunted children. Prevention and treatment of malnutrition is part of FCDO's response to address the indirect impacts of COVID-19 in countries such as Somalia, Yemen, South Sudan and Ethiopia.
