	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

Because of the active conflict in Yemen fewer than half of health facilities are fully functional. The WHO data reflects civilian injuries and deaths reported through health facilities, therefore they represent a partial picture. The real figure is likely higher.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 28/11/2018 14:59:44 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
