Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions she has had with her counterparts in a) India and b) Pakistan about the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.

The UK remains deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan and it remains one of our largest humanitarian programmes. The £154 million we allocated to Afghanistan in the last financial year ensured continued access to health, nutrition and education programmes for vulnerable children. We continue to engage regularly with international and regional partners on the humanitarian situation.
