answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2017 answer text <p>The UK remains committed to the Libyan Political Agreement (LPA). An inclusive political deal negotiated within the framework of the LPA is the best way of stabilising Libya and is the best option for delivering our migration priorities.</p><p>The UK is helping migrants return home rather than risk their lives continuing perilous journeys to Europe, and protecting men, women and children in danger of trafficking and sexual violence. The Prime Minister, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Maidenhead (Mrs May) announced a new package of more than £30 million in UK aid to provide desperately needed assistance to refugees and migrants, including supporting returns, addressing trafficking and sexual violence and providing cold weather clothing and medical care.</p><p>At the heart of the Department for International Development's new economic development strategy is creating jobs for people in their home countries and regions. This will help them meet their aspirations without the need to take the perilous journeys to Europe. The EU External Investment Plan's fund is not yet operational and the proposal is currently making its way through the EU legislative process. The UK will remain engaged as the proposal is developed.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 20/02/2017 14:16:34 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
