USA: UN Population Fund
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bates on 18 September (HL10125), what discussions UK ministers attending the UN General Assembly in September 2018 had with representatives of the government of the United States of America regarding that government's decision to withdraw funding from the UN Population Fund; and what were the results of any such discussions.
- Answer
-
There were no specific discussions with the US Government on this topic at the UN General Assembly. Discussions between UK and US officials will continue to take place regularly on a range of matters related to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. The UK remains the world’s largest donor to the UN Population Fund, enabling it to carry out its lifesaving work supporting some of the poorest and most marginalised people around the world.
