Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what financial support they have provided to (1) the government of Egypt, and (2) non-government organisations and churches, to assist with Sudanese citizens seeking refuge in Egypt.

The UK and Egypt are partners in a number of fields. Through British Investment International, loan guarantees and Official Development Assistance, the UK has provided almost $1 billion to support a stable, green, prosperous Egypt. The UK Government does not provide direct financial support to non-government organisations and churches that assist with Sudanese citizens seeking refuge in Egypt.
