The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what Official Development Assistance funding he plans to provide to Syria in 2025.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

As I announced at the Brussels Pledging Conference for Syria on 17 March, we have pledged up to £160 million of UK support to Syria's recovery and stability in 2025. This will provide life-saving assistance to millions of Syrians inside Syria and across the region, as well as agriculture, livelihoods and education programmes to help Syrians rebuild their lives and livelihoods.
