The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what budget is allocated to (a) the Conflict and Atrocity Prevention Department overall and (b) to work on atrocity anticipation, prevention and response not including conflict prevention work.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

The Department's conflict and atrocity prevention funding is embedded across our diplomacy, development, humanitarian, human rights and multilateral activity. We will continue to prioritise funding where it has the greatest preventative impact, including in fragile and conflict-affected states, with UK spend in these countries increasing to over 70 per cent of all country and regional spending by 2028/29.
