	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/09/2022 answer text <p>The UK notes the abuse of migrants and refugees in Libya and the inhumane conditions in detention centres. The Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya is assessing human rights abuses and violations in detention centres. The UK co-sponsored the renewal of the Fact Finding Mission's mandate in July. We continue to urge the interim Government of National Unity to take steps to end the exploitation and abuse of migrants and to implement a better functioning system that respects human rights. We support the UN's call for detention centres across Libya to be closed, and call on all parties to engage with the UN and the humanitarian community so that all migrants and refugees can be evacuated safely in accordance with international human rights law.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park grouped question UIN HL2222 question first answered 28/09/2022 12:42:36 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2024 answer text <p>As I said to the House at Committee Stage for the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill on 19 February, Noble Lords will be aware that we have provided Rwanda with £220 million as part of the economic transformation fund and £20 million as an advance credit to pay for operational costs in advance of flights commencing. The spend on the MEDP with Rwanda so far is £240 million.</p><p>We anticipate providing another £50 million in the next financial year. This is not new but follows the same arrangement from 2022.</p><p>Rwanda did not ask for money to sign the treaty, nor did we offer it. However, it is right and proper that there is funding to reflect the additional costs in the future. The Government are already committed to disclosing further payments made as part of the economic transformation fund and the per-person relocation costs as part of the department’s annual accounts in the normal way.</p><p>During the debate, I committed to write to the Noble Lord Purvis on this matter, and the letter will be published in the House library in due course.</p> answering member printed Lord Sharpe of Epsom question first answered 20/02/2024 17:47:56 answering member 4888 label Biography information for Lord Sharpe of Epsom
