answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2017 answer text <p>Since summer 2014, the UK has committed £169.5m of humanitarian assistance to Iraq, including to internally displaced people in the Kurdistan region. UK assistance is provided through the UN which coordinates distribution and delivery. Therefore the UK does not specifically earmark humanitarian assistance for the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Since 2014, the UK has provided support to the KRG, to build the capacity of the Joint Crisis Coordination Centre (JCCC) which coordinates KRG humanitarian activities and liaises with the Government of Iraq, UN and other actors involved in the humanitarian response in Iraq. The UK is also supporting UN agencies that play a direct role in helping the KRG manage the impact of operations in Mosul and elsewhere in Iraq.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 24/01/2017 17:01:24 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

We will demand that our partners meet international aid transparency standards and pass the same expectation to their partners. We are challenging multilaterals to work towards full transparency by publishing all spending over £500, as DFID does, and we are expanding our use of payment by results approaches and performance contracts, to introduce greater accountability. These measures will further improve the effectiveness of the international aid system, deliver better value for money for UK taxpayers and better outcomes for the world’s poorest people.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 20/12/2016 12:51:56 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm
