Oral Answers to Questions

Maria Caulfield Excerpts

Tuesday 22nd November 2016 Commons Chamber

[Boris Johnson]

As he will know fine well, this country is the second biggest global donor to the response to the humanitarian crisis in that region, and we can be proud of our record in giving humanitarian support there, and in offering sanctuary and refuge here in the UK.

[Maria Caulfield (Lewes) (Con)]
