answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2020 answer text <p>This Government is committed to supporting a long-term movement for change on the neglected global issue of disability inclusion. The Government remains steadfast in its commitment to this agenda.</p><p>The Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy is expected to conclude later in the year, which will define the Government’s ambition for the UK’s role in the world and its outcomes will shape the objectives of the FCDO. Both the review and the merger are evidence of the Prime Minister’s commitment to a unified British foreign and development policy that will maximise our influence around the world, including on disability and gender equality.</p><p>As part of the merger discussions, we will review, refresh and build on all existing strategies, as well as developing new approaches where appropriate. We do not see the core ambitions of DFID’s Disability Inclusion strategy changing. The advancement of the inclusion of people with disabilities is as important now as when we published the strategy in 2018.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 09/07/2020 16:03:58 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2020 answer text <p>We welcome the UNICEF report and its recognition that DFID’s work already saves children’s lives and makes a real difference. The Government’s commitment to end preventable maternal, new-born and child deaths by 2030 is well aligned with the report’s recommendations.</p><p>We are currently working on the detailed action plan on ending preventable deaths, setting out the key shifts we, with partners in the international community, need to make to achieve the goal. An example of this action is the UK commitment to help secure at least $7.4 billion for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, through its replenishment this year. This funding will allow Gavi to vaccinate 300 million more children and save up to 8 million lives from preventable deaths by 2025.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 24/03/2020 17:02:52 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
