Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any additional plans to provide further support to the government of Jordan to assist with displaced Syrian refugees.

By the end of March 2015, the UK will have provided almost £220 million of assistance to Jordan since the start of the Syria crisis. In 2014/15, UKAid spending in Jordan is forecast to be around £66 million. Since the onset of the Syria crisis the UK has committed £700 million for humanitarian activities in Syria and neighbouring states. This includes £82 million to date in support of UNICEF’s ‘No Lost Generation’ initiative, which provides protection, trauma care and education for children affected by the crisis.
