The Bishop of St Albans received the following written answer on 7th February 2024:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked His Majesty’s Government whether they will consider increasing their funding for the World Food Programme to enable the Programme to restore its monthly food vouchers for Rohingya refugees to the full value of 12.50 US dollars.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con, Foreign Office): The UK prioritised food provision in its Rohingya response programme in 2023, providing £14.8m of food support in Cox’s Bazar delivered by the World Food Programme and other UN agencies. Food rations were increased in January 2024. The UK was the second largest bilateral donor to the food response in Cox’s Bazar in 2023. We will continue to prioritise food support in our future response.
