Written Question
Syria
Wednesday 7th January 2015

Asked by: Frank Roy (Labour - Motherwell and Wishaw)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how much the Government has contributed to reviving local governance and administration in Syria in the last 12 months.

Answered by Tobias Ellwood

In the past 12 months, the Government has provided £2.3 million in support to local governance in opposition-controlled areas in Syria. This funding has enabled the training of local officials to help them ensure the provision of essential services to ordinary Syrians in their towns and villages, including vital infrastructure repair and rehabilitation projects which meet the needs of local people. The project is planned to continue for at least one more year. The UK is committed to helping the Syrian people who continue to suffer after more than three years of conflict.
