Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will take steps to increase the level of funding for supporting food-insecure people in Sudan.

At the recent London Sudan Conference, the Foreign Secretary announced a package of support budgeted at £120 million which will deliver life-saving services to more than 650,000 people. In total, more than £800 million was pledged at the conference. Since the start of the conflict millions of people have benefitted from UK funded humanitarian programmes. Supporting humanitarian aid delivery in Sudan remains a top priority for this government.
