Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of the potential impact of reductions to ODA on the (a) UK's ability to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iranian population and (b) escalation of the conflict in Iran.

I refer the Hon Member to the announcement made on 18 March concerning the UK's support for people fleeing the conflict: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-commits-15-million-for-vulnerable-people-affected-by-middle-east-conflict.
