The UK continues to work with Turkey to deliver further improvements to their immigration and asylum services.</p><p>In addition, the UK is contributing £250 million towards the 3 billion Euros Turkey Refugee Facility agreed by all EU Member States to help Turkey address the consequences of the Syria conflict. Our support will fund schools, hospitals and housing to meet the needs of refugees.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 28/06/2016 16:24:17 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
