Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much funding has been allocated to Stonewall over the last four years; and what his policy is on funding allocations to that charity in 2022 and beyond.

The FCDO works closely with a range of civil society organisations, including Stonewall, to defend the human rights of LGBT+ people around the world. Most recently this included work with Stonewall to evacuate LGBT+ people from Afghanistan under threat from the Taliban. Any future funding to Stonewall would be allocated in keeping with FCDO policies. Please refer to the answer of 17 November 2021 to question 72342 for a detailed breakdown of funding provided to Stonewall since 2018.
