Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government (1) which countries, if any, will no longer receive funding for the clearance of land mines and unexploded ordinance, and (2) whether these cuts are compatible with the UK’s commitment to the 1997 Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention.

We are working towards finalising the country allocation for the Global Mine Action Programme (GMAP3) and have welcomed feedback from our partners in the mine action sector. UK mine action work will continue to promote peace and conflict recovery while saving the lives of those most in need and we remain committed to our international treaty obligations.
