Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 31 January (HL5440), whether they are encouraging the maximum possible co-operation between the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

The UK is a strong supporter of both the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). We continuously encourage all our UN humanitarian partners to work closely together for maximum impact and efficiency. This includes through the use of performance based core funding, which incentivises the collective performance of the UN Humanitarian Agencies.
