Bangladesh: Rohingya
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what the Government’s policy is on engaging with the government of Bangladesh on the matter of the Rohingya people in Bangladesh.
Answered by Catherine West
As a leading donor to the Rohingya refugee response, the UK Government has provided over £391 million in Bangladesh to the Rohingya and host communities since 2017. We are committed to supporting the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh including ongoing support to protection services. Our High Commissioner in Dhaka continues to raise this issue with the Interim Government in Bangladesh. We will continue to work closely with UN agencies to provide basic services to Rohingya refugees while they remain in Bangladesh. Despite escalating conflict and ongoing access challenges, we are supporting those most in need through agile local partners.
