The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not fund visits by veterans to return to sites of Remembrance. The long standing MOD policy on official commemorations is that only certain specific anniversaries of events of major importance receive MOD sponsorship at public expense.<\/p>
<\/p>
Funding is still available from the Big Lottery fund, Heroes Return 2 scheme, as long as veterans travel before 31 December 2015 and haven\u2019t benefited from this scheme since 1 January 2013. This scheme allows veterans to return to the theatre in which they saw action, so travel is not limited to Normandy.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, and as advised by my hon. Friend the Treasury Minister (David Gauke) in his response to Question 216388, the Royal British Legion (RBL) has been chosen to run the D-Day return scheme on the Government\u2019s behalf. As detailed on the RBL website, the D-Day return scheme will not fund independent travel.<\/p>

We are aware of reports of a small number of British citizens fighting against ISIL in Syria and Iraq, but are not able to estimate accurately the total number. The UK advises against all travel to Syria and against travel to much of Iraq. Anyone who does travel to these areas, for whatever reason, is putting themselves in considerable danger. The Syrian National Coalition, which we recognise as the sole legitimate representatives of the Syrian people, have made clear that they do not want foreign fighters to come to their country. The best way for the British public to help the people of Syria and Iraq is to support UK registered charities that are providing humanitarian relief to those affected by the conflict.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1487", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bournemouth East"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Tobias Ellwood"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-02-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-02-12T14:40:42.177Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-02-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Middle East"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what estimate he has made of the number of British citizens who have travelled to Syria and Iraq to support forces opposed to Islamic State.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4243", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dan Jarvis"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Barnsley Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dan Jarvis"} ], "uin" : "223854"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/178586", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/178586/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Assessing the needs of men, women, girls and boys in emergency situations, including their protection needs, is a core function of DFID humanitarian partners. In conflict affected areas for example, children face multiple problems ranging from being used as child soldiers, to sexual exploitation, to denial of access to education. DFID views facilitating education as one of the ways we can help to protect children.<\/p>
<\/p>
In the Syria region for example, the No Lost Generation initiative contributes to protecting children through access to learning and psychosocial support. It advocates for better protection of children from violence, abuse and exploitation, aiming to restore hope for the future to thousands of children. DFID has allocated £50m to the No Lost Generation initiative, and is working with UNICEF and other partners to maximise the quality, coverage and coherence of these interventions, contributing to resilience and peaceful co-habitation. DFID has also funded education, psychosocial support and child protection across the region, with a particular focus on support to education in Lebanon and Jordan.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have also focussed on protecting children as part of our Call To Action on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), which saw commitments from partners that included creating new protection officer roles, incorporating the issue of VAWG into humanitarian coordination response plans, supplying additional human resources on VAWG and to increase the evidence base on this issue for more effective targeting of UK assistance. In each rapid onset emergency DFID supports, we review specific actions to address Violence Against Women and Girls. For example in response to Typhoon Haiyan, which hit the Philippines during the Call to Action meeting in 2013, the Secretary of State convened a high level meeting with donors and UN agencies to specifically ensure that VAWG was addressed as a priority. As a result, participants agreed that the Philippines should act as a pilot for improving how VAWG is addressed in emergencies. The Secretary of State tasked a team of DFID experts to the Philippines to take stock of the international response VAWG within the first weeks of the emergency and to ensure DFID programmes addressed this issue.<\/p>

The Local Digital Campaign has no advertising budget from DCLG, and there was no departmental spending on advertising for the campaign on television, newspaper, online, radio or another form in the last 24 months. The campaign does have an online presence \u2013 as befitting the subject of the campaign \u2013 but this is wholly paid for by private sector sponsors.
