To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what discussions he has had with his US counterpart on visa controls at the US temporary sea port into Gaza.
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what discussions he has had with his US counterpart on visa controls at the US temporary sea port into Gaza.
I have not discussed the specific issue of visa controls at the planned temporary pier with my US counterpart. The UK Government is in regular contact with partners, including Cyprus, the US, UAE and others, about a range of operational matters with regard to the proposed maritime corridor, including planning efforts to establish the temporary pier.
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what steps he is taking to support the US in constructing a second temporary pier in Gaza.
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what steps he is taking to support the US in constructing a second temporary pier in Gaza.
Along with Cyprus, the US, UAE and others, the UK will help deliver humanitarian aid by sea to a new temporary US military pier in Gaza, via a maritime corridor from Cyprus. We have already shown that this is possible - in January, we worked with our Cypriot partners to pre-screen 87 tonnes of aid that was delivered by Royal Navy ship RFA Lyme Bay to the Egyptian Red Cross for the people of Gaza.
We continue to urge Israel to allow more trucks into Gaza as the fastest way to get aid to those who need it. We also continue to call on Israel to fully open Ashdod Port for aid delivery.
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what steps he is taking to ensure that aid delivered to the US temporary port into Gaza reaches the intended destination.

The corridor cannot substitute for land crossings and we continue to urge Israel to open more land crossings and allow more trucks into Gaza as the fastest way to get aid to those who need it.
We also continue to call on Israel to fully open Ashdod Port for aid delivery.
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what estimate he has made of the level of humanitarian aid that will be delivered through the US temporary port into Gaza; and how much the UK plans to contribute to the delivery of that aid.

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what discussions he has had with his counterparts in (a) Somaliland, (b) Somalia, (c) Ethiopia and (d) the African Union on the Memorandum of Understanding between Ethiopia and Somaliland.
The FCDO has noted the announcement of a Memorandum of Understanding between Ethiopia and Somaliland, which suggests that Ethiopia will recognise Somaliland's independence in return for the lease of territory. We are concerned by escalating tensions in the Horn of Africa and are engaging with all relevant parties through our posts in the region to call for calm and encourage dialogue. The UK has reaffirmed its respect for Somalia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, if he will hold discussions with his counterpart in the government of the Republic of Somaliland on (a) regional security and (b) use of the port of Berbera.
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, if he will hold discussions with his counterpart in the government of the Republic of Somaliland on (a) regional security and (b) use of the port of Berbera.
Since the announcement of the Ethiopia - Somaliland memorandum of understanding (MoU) the UK has been engaging closely with all parties involved, including the Somaliland authorities, to call for calm and dialogue. We are urging all involved to avoid action that would negatively affect regional security, especially the crucial fight against al-Shabaab. Separately, the UK is supporting the Berbera Corridor project through the 'Unlocking Prosperity in the Horn of Africa' programme. This has included £25 million in funding towards the development of infrastructure to facilitate access to Berbera port for Ethiopia and the wider region.
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the agreement between Somaliland and Ethiopia to provide port access.

The FCDO noted the 1 January 2024 announcement of a Memorandum of Understanding between Ethiopia and Somaliland, which suggests that Ethiopia will recognise Somaliland's independence in return for the lease of territory along its coastline. The UK is clear that we respect Somalia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Our position on Somaliland remains unchanged: alongside our international partners we do not recognise Somaliland as an independent state. We believe the settlement of Somaliland's status is for Somalia and Somaliland to resolve, through a consultative process. We are engaging all countries involved to call for calm and encourage dialogue.
