Lord Ahmed – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for International Development

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Ahmed on 2015-01-14.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have provided any financial support for the redevelopment of houses destroyed during recent floods in Indian-administered Kashmir.

Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

The UK government has not received a request from the Indian Government for financial assistance. In 2012, DFID announced that it would end our traditional financial grant aid to India in 2015. From this year on, our partnership will be based on sharing skills and expertise, investing in private sector projects that benefit the poor, and working together on global development issues.
