Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether the Global Disability Summit in July 2018 has on its agenda the needs of disabled people in Syria and the support systems those people require in order to be able to access education and work.

Both education and economic empowerment will feature prominently on the agenda of the UK’s Global Disability Summit. The Summit will also consider how these themes apply in supporting people with disabilities in conflicted affected states and humanitarian situations such as in Syria.
