Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department requires any (a) international non-governmental or (b) Burmese civil society organisations to have memorandums of understanding with the Burmese Government in order to receive UK aid.

The FCDO does not require international non-governmental or civil society organisations to be registered with the Myanmar regime to receive UK aid. We are working closely with our partners to assess the impact and minimise the risk of the military regime's law of 28 October, which requires all non-governmental and civil society organisations to register with them.
