uin	HL9961
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2018 answer text <p>The UK remains unequivocally committed to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). The US has consistently been UNRWA’s single largest donor. When the US announced their intention to withhold a planned disbursement to UNRWA in January, we were sympathetic to their concerns over the need for a broader donor base for UNRWA, but made clear to them that we did not consider a sudden cut in planned funding was the right way to address this. My officials and I continue to raise this with our US counterparts.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 13/09/2018 16:11:04 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
