Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether her Department has had discussions with (a) the Yemen Executive Mine Action Centre and (b) other national de-mining institutions in Yemen on the provision of funding for clearing UK-produced cluster munitions; and if she will make a statement.

The Department for International Development (DFID) has not had discussions with any national de-mining institutions in Yemen. However, through the cross-government Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF), the UK is supporting the UN Development Programme (UNDP) to work with both the Yemen Executive Mine Action Centre (YEMAC) and the National Mine Action Commission (NMAC) to clear mines and explosives in Yemen, including cluster munitions.
