Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what financial help they intend to offer to Jordan following the restrictions on its supply of natural gas from Egypt and the flows of refugees from Syria and Iraq.

The UK has announced £483million of support to Jordan since the start of the Syrian Crisis and until 2020. Our support delivers quality education and economic opportunities for both Jordanians and refugees, and provides life-saving assistance that enables refugees to live in safety and dignity until they are able to eventually return home.

At the 2016 London Syria Conference, the UK also played a key role in mobilising $700million international support for an ambitious ‘Jordan Compact’, which aims to promote economic development and opportunities in Jordan to the benefit of Jordanians and Syrian refugees.
