legislature	25259 pref label House of Commons
question text	To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps she is taking to help ensure that (a) the United Nations Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and (b) the United Nations Compact on Refugees provide support for internally displaced people overseas; and if she will make a statement.
tabling member constituency	Oxford West and Abingdon

uin	134223
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2018 answer text <p>Given the UN Compacts are focused specifically on refugees and migration, there may be limited scope to ensure the specific needs of internally displaced people are addressed within these particular frameworks. However, there should be common lessons to apply in terms of the importance of a longer term development response to displacement and we are considering other opportunities to raise the profile of the issue and galvanise international efforts in 2018. For example, the UK is supportive of the idea of a UN High Level Panel on internally displaced people to assess the effectiveness of the current response to internal displacement and galvanise further political and operational action. We are discussing this closely with other interested States and UN agencies.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 29/03/2018 15:49:17 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
