Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what discussions she has had with her foreign counterparts on UNHCR's winter programme funding.

DFID is in regular communication with UNHCR, other agencies, host states and donor countries. Through this we raise concerns about conditions facing displaced people in winter.

In October 2016 the UK contributed £9.8million to UNHCR’s Supplementary Appeal for Refugee Emergency Response in Europe. This will reach over 50,000 vulnerable refugees with core relief items and includes rapid winterisation of shelters in response to deteriorating weather conditions.
