	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government committed £57 million to meet the immediate humanitarian needs of the Overseas Territories affected. This funding supported the response across the territories of Anguilla, British Virgin Islands and Turks and Caicos Islands, and accordingly, it is not possible to break the figure down between the three. A further £15 million for early recovery activity was subsequently committed, of which £6.5 million was allocated to Anguilla.</p><p>On 28 November the Prime Minister announced an additional and final £70 million package of recovery and reconstruction support for the affected three Territories. We anticipate a significant proportion of this will be made available to Anguilla. This will be supplemented by up to £300 million of UK loan guarantees for Territories that need support to access finance.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 12/12/2017 15:21:21 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
