Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to help ensure that the rights of older people are integrated into the humanitarian and recovery strategies to be discussed at the Sudan Conference in Berlin.

It is standard practice to consider the particular needs of marginalised groups, including older people, when planning our humanitarian responses, and this will be reflected in our ongoing discussions with international partners and non-governmental organisations on the crisis in Sudan.
