Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Northover (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Conservative) on Monday, 17 May 2021.
Official Development Assistance: Landmine Clearance
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether their financial support for landmine clearance will be reduced as a result of the overall reduction in Official Development Assistance.
- Answer
-
My Lords, we have prioritised our aid to be more strategic and remain a force for good across the world. On landmine clearance, this will mean a reduction in financial support compared to the previous financial year. However, we remain a leading donor in the sector. The United Kingdom’s demining work will continue to save lives, limbs and livelihoods across the world, supporting those most in need and, importantly, delivering on our treaty commitments.
