The UK will also contribute £2.5 million to a new fund, led by the International Organisation for Migration, which will facilitate durable solutions for refugees by supporting additional countries to offer resettlement places.</p><p>It is in the UK’s interest to respond quickly to humanitarian crises overseas, offering people protection and opportunities close to their home countries or long-term resettlement in a third country. This saves lives, helps to reduce long-term poverty, and is key to reducing the risk of people being caught up in uncontrolled, mass migration.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 21/11/2016 15:55:41 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
