Written Question
Turkey: Fires
Thursday 9th September 2021

Asked by: Mike Amesbury (Independent - Runcorn and Helsby)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps the Government has taken in offering assistance and aid to Turkey in respect of the wildfires in that country.

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

At the outset of the wildfires we offered our sympathy and support to the Turkish Government. The Foreign Secretary and I were in direct contact with our Turkish counterparts and our Embassy in Turkey held urgent discussions with Turkish disaster relief authorities. Although Turkey had sought fire-fighting aircraft, which regrettably we could not supply with sufficient water capacity, we were able to offer other technical support and capacity building expertise. The Turkish Government appreciated our support but confirmed they no longer needed such assistance. Our offer still stands.

Climate Change: International Cooperation
Tuesday 3rd September 2019

Asked by: Mike Amesbury (Independent - Runcorn and Helsby)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

What progress has been made through international co-operation on tackling climate change.

Answered by Heather Wheeler

As the first G7 country to legislate for net zero by 2050, the UK is leading the world’s response to tackling the effects of climate change. That is why we are leading the resilience and adaption strand with Egypt at the upcoming Climate Change summit in New York. That is why we hope to host COP26 in Glasgow next year in partnership with Italy.
