answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2018 answer text <p>The UK is at the forefront of international efforts to support Libya’s political stability and reform. DFID programmes provide much needed humanitarian and healthcare assistance to the most vulnerable. As part of DFID’s £75 million migration programme working along the Central Mediterranean route, up to £5 million will be allocated to humanitarian assistance and protection for migrants and refugees in Libya.

Alongside this, we continue to help fund the European Union Trust Fund, which works in a number of countries, including Libya, where it focuses on improving conditions for migrants in detention centres. The UK’s total contribution to the North Africa window of the Fund is €18m.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 19/07/2018 16:01:06 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
