Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of last year’s statement by the UN that more than 100 million people have abandoned their homes because of war, violence and persecution; and what plans do they have to achieve greater international co-operation to deal with this situation.

The UK delivered a statement on 11 October 2022 at the 73rd Annual Executive Committee of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) setting out our assessment of the unprecedented scale of global forced displacement.

We are working to ensure the second Global Refugee Forum in December 2023 strengthens international co-operation to deliver on the ambitions of the Global Compact on Refugees. We are also supporting the UN Secretary General's Action Agenda on Internal Displacement through collaboration with his Special Advisor, to help find solutions to internal displacement for millions of people.
