To ask Her Majesty's Government how much humanitarian aid, including earthquake relief and reconstruction, they have provided to Nepal in each of the last five years; and what impact, if any, this has had on the amount of healthcare and sustainable development funding that has been provided.
Lord Bates
The Minister of State, Department for International Development
As reported in “Statistics on International Development 2017” (available at www.gov.uk) the UK’s humanitarian support to Nepal was £5 million in 2012, nothing in 2013 and 2014, £35.9 million in 2015 and £13.2 million in 2016. In 2016, the UK committed a further £83 million for Post-Earthquake Reconstruction (2016 – 2022). Although disrupted by the 2015 earthquake, we have maintained our commitment to healthcare and sustainable development over the period.
