This includes prepositioning of vital supplies and, through our partnership with the World Food Programme, supporting the Government of Mozambique initiatives to give farmers cash and seeds to reduce the impacts of drought. The UK is concerned about the effects of El Nino in Mozambique, along with recent flooding, and is closely monitoring the impacts. Our High Commissioner recently met with the head of the national disaster management authority (INGD) to discuss their response and linkages with UK intervention.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 23/04/2024 11:12:11 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2024 answer text <p>As confirmed by the Government response to the consultation on Creating a Smokefree Generation and Tackling Youth Vaping consultation, Defra is leading on implementing a ban on disposable or single-use vapes due to the environmental harm caused by these devices. On 11 March draft regulations were published along with an impact assessment, which set out the main environmental concerns. Single-use vapes are an inefficient use of finite raw materials, they are inherently difficult to recycle and are often discarded incorrectly. When littered they pose a risk to soil, water and biodiversity and are a fire risk when thrown into residual waste. A report published by Defra earlier this year provides a broader assessment of the environmental impacts of single-use vapes and can be found online here: <a href="https://sciencesearch.defra.gov.uk/ProjectDetails?ProjectId=21447" target="_blank">Analysis of the market for vapes: exploring the environmental impacts of single-use vapes - EV0157 (defra.gov.uk)</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Defra has not made any environmental assessment of current non-compliant vapes.</p> answering member constituency Keighley answering member printed Robbie Moore question first answered 23/04/2024 10:50:21 answering member 4861 label Biography information for Robbie Moore

Budgets have not yet been allocated. However, UK support will continue to be delivered through the UN and other trusted partners including some NGOs. The UK last year provided £23.5 million to the UN-led Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF) to provide flexible, muti-sector support and which predominantly provides funding to NGOs, including grassroot organisations and national NGOs; we will continue our support to the SHF this year too. We are also planning to provide support to the National NGO Forum, as well as to the development of a Localisation Strategy at the request of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 23/04/2024 08:34:00 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2024 answer text <p>The UK continues to push for improved humanitarian access into and within Sudan to assist people who are hungry. In 2024/2025, UK ODA to Sudan will nearly double to £89 million. This was announced during Minister Mitchell's visit to the Chad border this month, where he met refugees fleeing the conflict, including many displaced by hunger as well as violence. UK aid will include funding to UNICEF which will provide emergency and life-saving food assistance to support people particularly in hard-to reach areas; and the World Food Programme to assist over 285,000 beneficiaries for 6 months by providing 13,405 tons of assorted food commodities such cereals, pulses, oils and salt. Ultimately the best way to ensure people don't go hungry is for the violence to end, and the UK continues to do all we can to press the parties into a permanent ceasefire.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 23/04/2024 08:35:04 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
