question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what additional aid they have offered to Sri Lanka to help cope with the severe drought and floods which have affected over one million people.
tabling member printed	Lord Naseby
uin	HL1434
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2017 answer text <p>Our assessment is that the crisis in Sri Lanka is being adequately managed through existing mechanisms in Sri Lanka, including the Government’s National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) and humanitarian agencies on the ground, including the Sri Lankan Red Cross Society. The UK provides significant amounts of funding to UN humanitarian emergency agencies (such as UNHCR, UNICEF and WFP), the EU’s humanitarian emergency response agency (ECHO) and the Red Cross, all of whom are contributing to the response. At the moment therefore we do not anticipate that a bilateral response from the UK will be needed. Other countries in the region are also providing assistance, and the US and EU have offered their support.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 18/09/2017 11:35:43 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

question text	Her Majesty's Government whether any official aid money has been or is planned to be allocated to North Korea; and if so for what purpose.
tabling member printed	Lord Naseby
uin	HL91
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government condemns both the persistent widespread human rights abuses of the North Korean regime and the consistent attempts of that regime to develop nuclear weapons in defiance of international law. No UK money goes directly to the regime in North Korea, and there is no DFID bilateral aid programme. A number of multilateral agencies that work in North Korea receive funding via the UK’s core contributions to these organisations. The FCO scaled back project work after the fourth nuclear test – but continues to fund some small-scale projects aimed at improving the lives of the most vulnerable in DPRK society. This will be kept under review.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 05/07/2017 16:40:30 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

uin	HL284
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2016 answer text <p>The UK provides substantial funding to international NGOs and UN agencies, enabling them to respond to disasters around the world, including Sri Lanka. This includes the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), which was established by the UN and other leading donors to enable rapid emergency response.
