Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to respond to the humanitarian needs in the Kordofan regions of Sudan.

I refer the Noble Lord to the statement on Sudan I made in the House on 19 November, and to my remarks in the House of Lords debate on Sudan on 27 November. I will provide further updates to the House in due course, including on the progress we are making to reach all the people and regions currently in desperate need of humanitarian support.
