As of 30 March, over 4 million people are known to have fled Ukraine to neighbouring countries, according to UNHCR [link: https://data2.unhcr.org/en/situations/ukraine]. We must ensure the humanitarian needs of displaced people are met, both within and beyond Ukraine's borders. The UK has committed £394 UK aid to Ukraine and the region during the current crisis, including £220 million of humanitarian assistance and we have deployed humanitarian experts to the region to support those fleeing the violence.</p><p>Humanitarian access is a critical part of upholding International Humanitarian Law. Parties to conflict must allow humanitarian supplies in, and facilitate movement of civilians out of cities where fighting is taking place. We are encouraging international partners to speak as one demanding that all parties guarantee full humanitarian access and respect international humanitarian law.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 01/04/2022 13:29:19 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2022 answer text <p>The UK remains committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, and all government departments have responsibility for aspects of the SDGs that relate to their policy remits. At the same time, the Levelling Up White Paper has set out 12 ambitious new missions - also with a 2030 time horizon - that are targeted, measurable and time-bound declarations of the progress needed to achieve levelling up.</p><p>There are a number of helpful parallels between the levelling up missions and the SDGs. As well as specific overlaps in areas such as education, skills, health and inequality, both the missions and the goals can only be achieved through long-term, concerted action across central and local government, the private sector and civil society. Robust monitoring and accountability is a crucial part of this; in addition to welcoming ongoing scrutiny through established Parliamentary mechanisms, the Government will introduce a statutory obligation to report annually on progress towards meeting the Levelling Up missions.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 16/03/2022 16:43:00 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
