To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what recent assessment her Department has made of international humanitarian access to all internally displaced people in Kachin State, Burma.

We have closely followed the latest round of recent talks held in China about Kachin and will be following up to assess progress. The UK regularly raises the urgent need for full and unfettered humanitarian access to all displaced people in Kachin State with the Burmese authorities, representatives of non-state armed groups and the UN. I have discussed this issue with the UN's Emergency Relief Coordinator, Baroness Amos, on 25 January. I also raised the issue with the foreign Minister of Burma on 11 February.
