Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, if she will make UK development aid to Uganda conditional on the repeal of laws in that country which discriminate against LGBT people; and if she will make a statement.
This question was answered on 3rd September 2014
The UK suspended all budget support to the Government of Uganda in 2013. After the Anti-Homosexuality Act was passed we assessed our programme to ensure that UK aid was not being provided to organisations that proactively and publically promoted the legislation.
The UK welcomes the decision of the Ugandan Constitutional Court to annul the Anti-Homosexuality Act.
