Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will make representations to the interim government of Bangladesh to strengthen security in and around Rohingya refugee camps.

The UK is committed to improving the security of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and we regularly engage with the Interim Government in Bangladesh about security in and around Rohingya refugee camps. In November 2024, during Minister Wests' visit to Bangladesh, she discussed the situation of Rohingya refugees with Chief Adviser Yunus. The UK Government continues to work closely with UN agencies and the Interim Government in Bangladesh to provide basic services to Rohingya refugees while they remain in Bangladesh. UK funding (£405 million since 2017) is providing life-saving assistance including food, repairs to shelters and water and sanitation infrastructure, healthcare and community-based protection services for women and children.
