To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 3 June 2025 to Question 53953 on Gaza: Infant Mortality, whether he has made an assessment of the likelihood of the British Red Cross humanitarian funding reaching Gaza.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 3 June 2025 to Question 53953 on Gaza: Infant Mortality, whether he has made an assessment of the likelihood of the British Red Cross humanitarian funding reaching Gaza.
On 4 June, I announced an additional £4 million to the British Red Cross (BRC) in supporting Gaza. The UK has assessed that, despite severe access constraints, BRC, has a credible and realistic pathway to reach Gaza through its partner, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS). This assessment is based on the PRCS's longstanding operational presence in Gaza and its continued ability to deliver aid where conditions allow. The UK remains in close contact with the BRC to monitor delivery and ensure accountability. Working with the BRC and international partners, we continue to push for improved humanitarian access.

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if he will estimate the amount of Government funding donated to the British Red Cross Charity in the last ten years.
The Government does not make donations to charities. Such funding, whether for a specific restricted purpose or unrestricted, would be classified as a grant.
The Charity Commission for England and Wales publishes charities’ annual returns from the last five reporting years. This includes a breakdown of funding that includes income from government grants and income from government contracts. The most recently published annual return covers the financial period up to 31 December 2019.
The British Red Cross Society has received £147 million in government grants in total over the past five reporting years. A breakdown by financial period end date is below:
31/12/2015 - £32.5 million
31/12/2016 - £22.3 million
31/12/2017 - £33.7 million
31/12/2018 - £22.1 million
31/12/2019 - £36.4 million
The British Red Cross Society also receives income from government contracts. Over the five reporting years described above, the British Red Cross Society received a total of £226.3 million income from government contracts.

That this House notes with dismay the decision of the British Red Cross to ban the sale of any Christmas cards that are religious in nature and which they determine could offend non-Christians; further notes their ban on any nativity displays in their stores throughout the UK; welcomes the commonsense reaction of many representatives of other faiths who have termed this reaction by the British Red Cross as absurd political correctness; and calls on Sir Nicholas Young, the Chief Executive of the British Red Cross, to reverse this decision forthwith and realise that it has greatly offended many people in the UK.
