Mr. Best: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the intentions of aid
agencies to stay in Iraq. [137523]
Hilary Benn: I have been asked to reply.
In the current circumstances in Iraq, aid agencies are understandably keeping under review their security procedures, their ways of
working and the extent to which they maintain a presence in the country. Decisions in these areas are of course for them to take.
DFID keeps in close contact with the United Nations and non-governmental organisations, particularly those which receive DFID
funding, and is able to offer advice where appropriate, DFID has offered £3 million towards UN security measures in response to an
appeal following the bombing of the UN Headquarters in Baghdad in August. DFID has also offered additional finance, if needed, for
increased security provisions for those NGOs that we are supporting in Iraq. DFID, and other Government Departments, have put in
place special security provisions for their own staff working in Iraq.
