Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what estimate she has made of the level of (a) financial and (b) material support delivered by her Department to civilians fleeing conflict in Syria in each of the last six months; and if she will make a statement.

In each of the last six months for which we have available data, DFID has disbursed the following financial assistance to implementing partners to deliver support in financial year 2016/2017 to Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey who have been forced to flee Syria. In Turkey our support is now being fully channelled through the EU Facility for Refugees. We have not provided any separate material or in-kind assistance to implementing partners. In addition, to date 61% of our funding for projects in Syria has been channelled via UN agencies.
