answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>Our humanitarian aid operates under International Humanitarian Law and is provided based on need. As such it is available to people of all faiths and of none. All our partners carry out comprehensive vulnerability assessments to ensure aid is reaching those most in need, including those from religious minorities as it is already recognised that religion may be a factor in causing vulnerability. DFID and UK missions overseas have regular conversations with UNHCR on these matters.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 18/07/2017 16:15:06 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
