uin	9103
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2017 answer text <p>The UK Government’s position on the referendum is clear. Unilateral moves towards independence would not be in the interests of the people of Kurdistan Region, of the rest of Iraq or of wider regional stability. Any referendum or political process towards independence must be agreed with the Government of Iraq in Baghdad. We support a stable, democratic and unified Iraq, one that is able to provide the security, jobs, healthcare and education all Iraqis want and deserve. Ministers and officials are in continuing discussions with both the Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government, urging both parties to engage in dialogue to deliver a better future for their people on the basis of the Iraqi Constitution. The Department for International Development has provided £209.5 million in life-saving humanitarian aid to Iraq since June 2014, which has helped to support internally displaced people across Iraq, including those hosted in the Kurdistan region. DFID is working alongside other Government departments to assess the impact of the referendum on our priorities in Iraq.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 13/09/2017 15:54:56 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>The UK has long been one of the biggest contributors of humanitarian aid for the displaced population in Rakhine State. We have provided over £30 million in humanitarian assistance since 2012, including food and sanitation for over 126,000 people. In the current context access to the worst affected populations is seriously constrained. We are working at the highest levels with the government, other donors and the UN to improve access and ensure that aid reaches those that need it most. DFID has also committed £10.9 million to meet the needs of displaced Rohingya and the host communities who support them in Bangladesh. The UK Government is deeply concerned about the violence against the Rohingya and other communities in Burma’s Rakhine State, and the plight of thousands fleeing their homes.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/09/2017 09:46:56 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
