Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what support she is providing to the Government of Jordan to assist with accommodating Iraqi refugees.

The UK has committed £441 million to support Jordan since the start of the Syria crisis. To meet humanitarian needs the UK is supporting the provision of essential services such as health and water and sanitation, and, alongside humanitarian assistance providing support to job creation and education – helping to ensure that all children can access education regardless of nationality.

UK assistance to all refugees and displaced persons is provided on the basis of need, irrespective of nationality. This is in line with international humanitarian principles, ensuring aid reaches the most vulnerable.
