Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what role the Government is playing in ensuring that oil revenues are distributed fairly and according to international agreement between the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan.

While we monitor the distribution of oil revenues, the British Government does not have a formal role overseeing the agreement between the Sudanese and South Sudanese governments. The two countries continue peacefully to manage the agreement, and neither side has sought international engagement or assistance to implement it.
