Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what discussions her Department has had with the Government of Bangladesh on providing additional flat and usable land for Rohingya refugees.

Congestion remains a serious challenge for the Rohingya refugee response and we have encouraged the government of Bangladesh at the highest levels to make more onshore land available. Bangladesh has already provided some additional land and the UK has supported international efforts to make this suitable and safe. We have made clear that any relocation of refugees must be safe, dignified and meet international humanitarian principles and standards.
