Recent appearances

• Sudan: Refugees - Question 24 May 2023

  Can the Minister confirm that as much as 17,000 metric tonnes were looted from WFP warehouses in Khartoum in the early stages of the crisis? The WFP itself is 15% funded for its work not just in Sudan but in South Sudan, including with those returning every day. How are the Government sustaining the World Food Programme at this critical time?

• United Nations Population Fund Report - Question 24 May 2023

  My Lords, the Minister has given us an impressive list of programmes for women and girls and emphasised the human rights, which is correct, but no mention was made of men. Presumably men are the target of family planning programmes as well. Do the Government have any method of monitoring what they are doing to involve men in these family planning events?

• Written Answers — Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: Sudan: Conflict Resolution 17 May 2023

  To ask His Majesty's Government how they plan to develop a new conflict strategy and give further support to the UNITAMS peace-building unit in Sudan.
