This is the only viable path towards the peace and security that the Syrian people deserve. In the meantime, the UK is providing food, healthcare, water and other life-saving relief to vulnerable Syrians, including internally displaced people, across the country.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 26/10/2017 16:48:27 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment her Department has made of the effect of instances of malaria on the UK's trade with developing countries.
tabling member constituency	Carshalton and Wallington
tabling member printed	Tom Brake
uin	108786
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2017 answer text <p>Malaria is bad for business, investment and trade. It results in people having to take time off work because of illness, worker absenteeism, and reduced worker productivity. These effects slow economic growth in malaria-endemic countries and have an impact on their ability to trade with countries including the UK. Reducing malaria creates healthier, more productive workforces and generates benefits for entire economies, businesses, and individuals.</p><p>The World Health Organisation estimates that global gains in lives saved, due to efforts to tackle malaria, were valued at US$2040 billion, which equates to 3.6% of the total gross domestic product (GDP) of malaria affected countries in 2015.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 26/10/2017 16:51:51 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
