Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much UK aid has been allocated to the Kurdish region of Iraq in the last 12 months.
In response to the current crisis, the UK has allocated an overall aid package of £23 million for 2014/15 to support the needs of internally displaced people in Iraq. £18.7 million of this has been allocated for Northern Iraq. The total amount of aid that has been allocated to the Kurdistan region of Iraq is not possible to quantify exactly as our humanitarian partners are distributing aid based on need across Northern Iraq.
