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

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2017 answer text <p>Under the current Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) rules the three hurricane affected Overseas Territories, Anguilla, the Turks and Caicos Islands and the British Virgin Islands, are not eligible to receive Official Development Assistance (ODA) due to their Gross National Income (GNI) per capita being above the ODA eligibility cut off point. The United Kingdom (UK) Government has committed £142 million of non-ODA funding to the hurricane relief effort in the Overseas Territories. In addition up to £300 million of loan guarantees will be available to help the affected Overseas Territories access the funds needed to Build Back Better. ODA rules have not and will not stop Britain dedicating the money needed for the hurricane recovery and reconstruction the Overseas Territories.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/12/2017 10:10:59 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
