Department for International Development written question – answered on 28th October 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much of her Department's budget is directed at the root causes of migration.
The root causes of migration are diverse. They include conflict, lack of security and also lack of opportunity or jobs. That’s why we provide help and security for refugees affected by the Syria crisis. When we double our work on jobs and growth, it is not only good for the people and countries we are supporting, it is in our national interest too.
