	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2017 answer text <p>In the UN Security Council, we have sought to address the humanitarian situation inside Syria, calling for an end to the fighting and full access for humanitarian aid. At the UN, we have worked with partners to help Syrian refugees, including in September 2016 when we co-hosted a meeting in the margins of the General Assembly to review progress on implementation of the February conference. The UK is at the forefront of the humanitarian response to the Syria crisis, including support for Syrian refugees. We have committed £2.3 billion in response to the Syrian crisis, of which £1.1 billion is for countries neighbouring Syria. This money is to meet the needs of refugees, help host communities and enable Syrian refugees to remain in the region. In February 2016, the UK co-hosted the Supporting Syria and the Region Conference, which raised over $12 billion in pledges, and included a focus on education and employment opportunities for refugees in the region.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 26/01/2017 17:44:14 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
