answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2018 answer text <p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office does not hold current estimates on the number of World War Two era mines that remain un-disposed of in the Tobruk and El-Alamein regions. The package of UK support to Libya announced in August 2017 includes £1 million this year to fund demining training and education across the country and increase the capacity of Libyan authorities to deal with explosive hazards. The UK has supported demining in Egypt since 2006 through multilateral funding along with other donors including Germany, Japan, New Zealand and the US. The projects have funded clearance of 130,446 acres of land around El Alamein, provision of artificial limbs for 479 land mine victims, and three mine risk education campaigns benefiting 160,000 individuals. The UK has previously provided maps of minefield locations to the Egyptian authorities.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 24/01/2018 16:16:36 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
