Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell of Pittenweem (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park (Conservative) on Monday, 15 November 2021.
Charities: Landmines
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to provide funds to charities based in the United Kingdom that work to remove landmines and dismantle improvised explosive devices in other countries.
- Answer
-
My Lords, over the next three years, the UK’s demining work will continue to save lives, limbs and livelihoods across the world, supporting those most in need and delivering our treaty commitments. The Global Mine Action Programme 3, due to begin in 2022, will involve landmine clearance and risk education to help affected communities keep safe, and capacity development to help national authorities manage their landmine contamination. We are currently working towards finalising funding and country allocations for this programme.
