Written question asked by Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) on Tuesday, 17 March 2026, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 31 March 2026. It was answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Labour) on Monday, 20 April 2026 on behalf of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

North Korea: Inter Mediate

Question: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chapman of Darlington of 11 February 2026 (HL14050), whether Inter Mediate is undertaking any work in, or with, North Korea funded by the UK Government.

Answer: For over ten years, Inter Mediate and the UK Government have successfully partnered to advance peace efforts around the globe. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) supports a range of civil society and non-governmental organisations through its mediation and conflict resolution programme. Given the sensitive and discreet nature of these efforts, we do not disclose details of the projects supported. This ensures that neither the safety of partners, nor the integrity of ongoing peace efforts are compromised. This is in line with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the FCDO's approach to aid transparency, whereby information is excluded from publication where sharing could pose risks to international relations, compromise the security and safety of partners, prejudice national security, or reveal personal data that could infringe on privacy or breach confidentiality.
