Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what response they are making to the appeal to the international community regarding the Myanmar earthquake by the Interim National Unity Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.

On 29 March the UK announced up to £10 million worth of life saving support to Myanmar in response to the earthquake. As well as delivering the humanitarian assistance via local partners, the package includes support in conjunction with other international partners to the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). This will fund life-saving support to some of the most urgent humanitarian needs. On 4 April, we announced a further £10 million of funding, bringing our total response to up to £25 million.
