(asked on 5th January 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assistance her Department has provided to Puerto Rico to assist with the reconnection of water and electricity as a result of the storms of September 2017.
This question was answered on 12th January 2018
Puerto Rico is an American territory, and, as such, was not a focus of our relief and recovery efforts. DFID does not have a bilateral aid programme or presence there.
In response to Hurricanes Irma and Maria, the UK has provided over £185m of humanitarian and reconstruction assistance to our Overseas Territories and independent Commonwealth countries in the Caribbean.
