Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what preparations her Department has made for urgent reconstruction work in Venezuela in the event of a change of Government.
DFID does not have a bilateral presence in Venezuela. DFID continues to work closely with – and provide significant core funding to – the UN and Red Cross movement to alleviate the worsening humanitarian situation. In the event of a change in government in Venezuela, the international financial institutions will play a key role in supporting any reconstruction work.
