Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park (Con)
My Lords, the UK remains a leading donor in this sector, notwithstanding the recent cuts, and our demining work will continue to save lives. We are committed to all of our international treaty obligations. We are finalising our plans for GMAP3—the global mine action programme. As I said a few times, we will release details as soon as we can.
Baroness Sugg (Con)
My Lords, it has been only in the last few weeks that NGOs have heard that the cuts they will face will be between 75% and 80%, so I welcome the confirmation from my noble friend the Minister that this is being reviewed. Could he tell me when this review will be completed and assure the House that we will be informed of its findings?
Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park (Con)
I thank the noble Baroness for her question. I will have to get back to her in writing when I have a date that I can share.
