In Pakistan, our multi-year humanitarian programme could provide up to £100 million over 2014-2018 for immediate relief and early recovery, depending on the extent of emergencies which occur. In both countries we are also supporting work by local organisations to build resilience to natural disasters and increase preparedness for recurring events.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 30/10/2015 13:43:41 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
