	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2018 answer text <p>The World Bank has a potentially important role to play in the Rohingya refugee crisis, alongside other development partners. The World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA) Refugee Window, to which the UK contributes, is a dedicated source of funding for host governments struggling to meet the needs of refugees and their host communities. At the request of the Government of Bangladesh, in November 2017 a World Bank mission investigated how the IDA Refugee Window could be used to support the Rohingya crisis. It is now up to the Government of Bangladesh whether it wants to request support.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 30/01/2018 17:28:08 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
