	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/05/2016 answer text <p>DFID has provided over £18 million in humanitarian and health assistance to conflict-affected people in Kachin and Northern Shan States since 2011, and expects to spend a further £4.9 million this year. We coordinate our assistance with other donors. Other donors have historically supported housing for displaced people. Currently our assessment is that conditions for large-scale return or voluntary resettlement are not present in the absence of a ceasefire and steps towards a peace agreement. We would expect to provide support to return and voluntary resettlement when the political situation permits.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 04/05/2016 11:20:07 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
