answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2019 answer text <p>We are in regular contact diplomatically and at Ministerial level with the United States, to ensure we follow the best opportunities for an end to the conflict in Yemen. On 16 January, the UN Security Council, including the US, voted unanimously to back the UK-led Security Council Resolution 2452, which will establish a six month UN mission to monitor the Hodeidah ceasefire. This is an important step towards peace, building on the momentum of the unanimously adopted UK-led Security Council Resolution 2451 as well as the UN peace talks in Stockholm last month. We regularly discuss with our partners at the UN, including the US, how best we can support the implementation of these agreements to ensure that the Yemen peace agreements endure, though this is by no means guaranteed.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 23/01/2019 17:45:11 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2019 answer text <p>On 22 January the Foreign Secretary announced an additional £2.5 million in funding to bolster the Yemeni peace process, including operations in Hodeidah city and port. This will complement UK diplomatic support for the UN, including through UK-led Security Council Resolutions 2451 and 2452, which build on the momentum generated by UN peace talks in Stockholm in December. We continue to discuss with the UN what further support the UK could provide as UN planning develops. It is important that all parties take steps to implement the Hodeidah Agreement in accordance with the UN Redeployment Coordination Committee and ensure unhindered access to food, medical and commercial supplies through the port of Hodeidah.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 23/01/2019 17:41:20 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
