Halo Trust: Finance
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much funding the Government has allocated to the Halo Trust to undertake mine clearance work overseas.
- Answer
-
The Government has allocated £52 million to the HALO Trust between April 2018 and March 2021. This funding has cleared deadly explosive devices so that people across the world need no longer live in fear of one wrong step.
In 2021/22 we will continue funding the HALO Trust to carry out this important work. UK-funded mine action will continue to save lives, limbs and livelihoods, while delivering UK commitments under the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention and the Cluster Munitions Convention.
