:00:07. > :00:13.Good morning and welcome to BBC Parliament's live coverage of the
:00:14. > :00:17.House of Commons. In happen I work Theresa May faces Jeremy Corbyn in
:00:18. > :00:22.parameters questions. The main business today is to debate two
:00:23. > :00:26.reports, the first on the ground for police forces in England and Wales
:00:27. > :00:32.and the second on local government finance settlements for English
:00:33. > :00:36.councils for 2017, 2018. Both could be contentious especially council
:00:37. > :00:41.financing. There is widespread concern over spending on social care
:00:42. > :00:45.and the impact it has on the NHS. At 2:30pm the home affairs committee is
:00:46. > :00:50.holding a hearing about the government decision to stop
:00:51. > :00:58.receiving an accompanied children from Europe. You can see that on the
:00:59. > :01:02.website. Join me for a round-up for the day in both Houses of Parliament
:01:03. > :01:06.at 11pm. In a moment we will have questions to the International
:01:07. > :01:08.Development Secretary Justine Greening but first some private
:01:09. > :01:16.business dealing with the middle level bill.
:01:17. > :01:24.Order. The clerk will proceed to read the title of the private bill
:01:25. > :01:31.sets down for consideration. Middle level bill, second reading. What
:01:32. > :01:38.day? Wednesday 1st of March saw. Wednesday 1st of March. Questions
:01:39. > :01:45.for the Secretary of State for International Development. Question
:01:46. > :01:51.number one. Secretary Priti Patel. The honourable lady will be aware a
:01:52. > :01:56.review into arms exports to Saudi Arabia is underway and we cannot
:01:57. > :02:00.comment on ongoing legal matters. Advice on the criteria and eight of
:02:01. > :02:03.the Consolidated EU and national arms export licensing criteria which
:02:04. > :02:09.assesses whether a country can afford the export. Following the
:02:10. > :02:16.recommendation made by the International development in
:02:17. > :02:24.November last year what progress has been made in the proposed arms
:02:25. > :02:30.transfer may ultimately be used as is the case with Yemen and equipment
:02:31. > :02:37.supplied to Saudi Arabia? Specifically with regards to the
:02:38. > :02:41.involvement, it is cross government and we engage across government on
:02:42. > :02:45.some of the really significant issues associated specifically with
:02:46. > :02:49.Yemen and that of course is a humanitarian aspect in particular.
:02:50. > :02:53.Of course there is a case underway right now as I marked in my opening
:02:54. > :02:59.comments and as a result we cannot comment on this ongoing legal
:03:00. > :03:02.matters. Given the situation in Saudi Arabia and indeed in China and
:03:03. > :03:06.other countries doesn't she think I'd rather hypocritical the way we
:03:07. > :03:17.are carrying on regarding Trump or is that out of order Mr Speaker? As
:03:18. > :03:22.long as it is about export licences. As my honourable friend just heard
:03:23. > :03:26.me say very specifically to Saudi Arabia and export licence in this
:03:27. > :03:28.particular example there is a judicial review under way and we
:03:29. > :03:40.cannot comment on ongoing legal matters.
:03:41. > :03:46.Famine looms over the Yemen as the Secretary of State will know. What
:03:47. > :03:55.is the UK doing to ensure aid is not being impeded by the Saudi led
:03:56. > :04:00.coalition? I thank you for the question, she may be aware the UK
:04:01. > :04:04.has specifically not just funded the Yemen appeal, we have led the way in
:04:05. > :04:10.terms of our own support through the UN and we are the fourth largest
:04:11. > :04:16.bilateral donor. In terms of working on the ground but also making the
:04:17. > :04:20.case to the Saudi Arabian authorities, the British government
:04:21. > :04:24.have made very direct requests and we have been very clear in terms of
:04:25. > :04:27.the fact they must not impede the access of humanitarian aid and
:04:28. > :04:32.support. We have been clear with them as well about working with many
:04:33. > :04:36.of our international partners to monitor the access routes as well in
:04:37. > :04:41.terms of getting supplies into Yemen which as you know is vital at this
:04:42. > :04:44.difficult time. On the subject of granting export licences to Saudi
:04:45. > :04:51.Arabia and other countries is it the case that representations are made
:04:52. > :04:54.about matters such as civilian categories and breaches of
:04:55. > :04:59.international humanitarian law? I can assure the Right Honourable
:05:00. > :05:04.gentleman that we do more than make representations, we do it directly
:05:05. > :05:12.and we do that directly as I myself have done with the authorities with
:05:13. > :05:20.specific requests in terms of the situation on the ground. Getting
:05:21. > :05:34.support to people who need help. The devastating situation in Syria
:05:35. > :05:39.is appalling, the UN estimates 13.5 million Syrians need humanitarian
:05:40. > :05:43.assistance. 1.5 million living in siege like conditions and 4.9
:05:44. > :05:48.million refugees in the region. The UK has been at the forefront of the
:05:49. > :05:53.international effort in providing support to the region and Syria
:05:54. > :05:57.directly. I commend that leading effort but with the Secretary of
:05:58. > :06:00.State assure me that aid is reaching Christian refugees who faced the
:06:01. > :06:04.jeopardy of sometimes avoiding official camps because of fear of
:06:05. > :06:09.persecution and for those who do end up in those camps face further
:06:10. > :06:13.persecution because of their faith? My honourable friend is right to
:06:14. > :06:18.raise this point, it's an important issue in light of the situation of
:06:19. > :06:21.migrants and refugees moving so ensuring the safety of refugees and
:06:22. > :06:30.protecting them from persecution is absolutely at the heart of the UK's
:06:31. > :06:33.involvement and the support we provide to UK head in Syria but also
:06:34. > :06:36.the region itself and I assure my honourable friend that everyone we
:06:37. > :06:40.work with paid particular attention to the welfare and safety when it
:06:41. > :06:46.comes to monitoring minorities including Christians. I had a
:06:47. > :06:50.meeting recently, a very helpful meeting with one of the ministers in
:06:51. > :06:56.the Department about the situation in the no man's land between Georgia
:06:57. > :07:00.and Syria. I am aware how much the government is doing but could the
:07:01. > :07:06.secretary of state update us on the humanitarian situation there and
:07:07. > :07:11.what else is being done? I thank the honourable lady for raising the
:07:12. > :07:15.appalling situation, it is a devastating situation. She asked
:07:16. > :07:17.what we are doing, the work is taking place through agencies,
:07:18. > :07:22.through the partners we work with but also with the Jordanian
:07:23. > :07:27.government, working with them of course in what is and hostile
:07:28. > :07:31.terrain and territory to ensure people and children are being
:07:32. > :07:35.protected and they themselves are getting access to food and water
:07:36. > :07:42.which quite frankly is a major priority there. Mr Speaker last week
:07:43. > :07:47.I met a number of Syrian refugees along with the honourable member for
:07:48. > :07:51.Tooting, guests of Oxfam in Jordan and I know the Secretary of State
:07:52. > :07:57.was also in Jordan not that long ago. Can she tell us what plans the
:07:58. > :08:01.government has, notably herself, to continue to support Jordan in their
:08:02. > :08:06.magnificent effort, a country of 9 million people who have taken 1.5
:08:07. > :08:12.million Syrian refugees and housed them, what more can we do to help
:08:13. > :08:17.Jordan? I thank my right honourable friend for her case June and she has
:08:18. > :08:23.seen it first hand, the remarkable work we see in Jordan. A host
:08:24. > :08:27.community. They themselves are under great strain and pressure with their
:08:28. > :08:31.economy in particular but also providing the vital support. So what
:08:32. > :08:35.more are we going to be doing? We have the brussels conference coming
:08:36. > :08:39.up and I have been clear, that is why I was in Jordan, about the
:08:40. > :08:43.additional support we will get to Jordan, not just as the UK but to
:08:44. > :08:48.the international community, with the World Bank and also to the IMF
:08:49. > :08:55.and many of the reforms taking place in Jordan itself. The Secretary of
:08:56. > :08:59.State told my honourable friend from Glasgow North that the department
:09:00. > :09:03.was actively pursuing the possible use of drones to drop emergency aid
:09:04. > :09:09.in Syria, can she give the house an update on the progress made since
:09:10. > :09:12.then? I thank the honourable gentleman for the question, of
:09:13. > :09:16.course in besieged areas inside Syria we know there are enormous
:09:17. > :09:22.problems in terms of access to humanitarian aid. Specifically with
:09:23. > :09:26.regards to drones, we are examining all options for getting aid into
:09:27. > :09:33.besieged areas in Syria and this includes the possibility of using
:09:34. > :09:35.drones to directly deliver aid. The government should be congratulated
:09:36. > :09:41.for being the second biggest donor in the area, second only to the
:09:42. > :09:47.United States. You can look after more people closer to home than you
:09:48. > :09:49.can in this country, so what is the Secretary of State doing to
:09:50. > :09:54.encourage other European countries to match our level of support for
:09:55. > :09:59.the region? Are honourable friend raises an important point, we are
:10:00. > :10:02.constantly calling on other donor countries to step up and effectively
:10:03. > :10:07.pull their finger out and put more money into the international system.
:10:08. > :10:11.But also by reforming the international system that this
:10:12. > :10:14.government is leading we are challenging donor countries to be
:10:15. > :10:18.much more efficient and affected in the way we can distribute aid and
:10:19. > :10:24.get resources directory to people in country and in the region. Like the
:10:25. > :10:27.Secretary of State I met thousands of children in Jordan, Lebanon and
:10:28. > :10:33.Turkey in camps that have played Syria. I have seen etched on their
:10:34. > :10:40.face the fear they have experienced last in Syria. I welcome the work
:10:41. > :10:45.which has been done in those countries but is the Secretary of
:10:46. > :10:48.State not embarrassed our obligations to take 3000
:10:49. > :10:52.unaccompanied children who fled Syria and are in Europe and this
:10:53. > :10:56.government has turned their back on them? What I would say to the
:10:57. > :11:02.honourable gentleman is I to have met hundreds of children and I have
:11:03. > :11:06.seen the trauma directly and spoken to children directly and heard the
:11:07. > :11:11.trauma that they have experienced from travelling from Syria into the
:11:12. > :11:14.neighbouring countries. The honourable gentleman cannot justify
:11:15. > :11:20.his remarks and say we are not helping those children. On the basis
:11:21. > :11:23.that we take the wealth of unaccompanied asylum seeking
:11:24. > :11:28.children more than seriously. We have made clear commitments to those
:11:29. > :11:33.children and that is what we are doing. We committed to resettle
:11:34. > :11:36.20,000 Syrian nationals to the syllable vulnerable persons
:11:37. > :11:40.relocation scheme and 3000 of the most vulnerable children is on top
:11:41. > :11:46.of being the second largest bilateral donor to Syria and inside
:11:47. > :11:50.the region. I thank the Secretary of State for the work she is doing but
:11:51. > :11:57.I actually want to draw attention to a humanitarian crisis which is
:11:58. > :12:01.happening in the Lake Chad region, around 450,000 children are at risk
:12:02. > :12:05.of severe acute malnutrition, can the Secretary of State assure me the
:12:06. > :12:11.government's response to this crisis is purely humanitarian and does she
:12:12. > :12:16.think the UK is acting in good time? I am sure she meant to refer also to
:12:17. > :12:17.Syria which is the question on the paper. She probably did and I did
:12:18. > :12:33.not hear I thank ever speaking about this,
:12:34. > :12:36.she is right to raise the awful humanitarian situation there. UK aid
:12:37. > :12:41.is clearly directed and focus in terms of food, water and shelter, to
:12:42. > :12:44.give protection to the most vulnerable people that need out
:12:45. > :12:53.life-saving support at this difficult time. UN women is an
:12:54. > :12:56.important organisation in the global fight to deliver gender equality,
:12:57. > :13:00.women's rights, and the UK Government provides ?12 million a
:13:01. > :13:08.year in annual funding support that organisation. Budget day, March the
:13:09. > :13:12.8th, International women's day. Given 93 countries have made
:13:13. > :13:16.commitments to the UN Step It Up initiative, will he said that date
:13:17. > :13:22.is dead by the UK to make its formal commitment to show it is fully
:13:23. > :13:26.engaged in international action to combat gender inequality? The UK is
:13:27. > :13:30.a world leader in combating gender inequality. Since 2011, we've seen
:13:31. > :13:34.over 5 million gills through education thanks the work of the UK.
:13:35. > :13:41.We seem tempting women have access to modern family planning, we saved
:13:42. > :13:44.over 100,000 lives, we seem to 6 million women be given better access
:13:45. > :13:49.to financial services. Gender equality is a key part of what we
:13:50. > :13:55.do, key part of the government, we continued to deliver on it. In light
:13:56. > :13:59.of the large number of unaccompanied children remain at risk of
:14:00. > :14:03.trafficking and exploitation in Europe, and bearing in mind councils
:14:04. > :14:06.like Lewisham after 23 places but only one has been filled, but the
:14:07. > :14:14.government reconsider its decision to drop the double schema? She
:14:15. > :14:23.expresses her concern from some of the most vulnerable children,
:14:24. > :14:26.including Gilles, who suffered such terrible persecution. The UK of
:14:27. > :14:30.course is the second-largest donor in region, we can help many more by
:14:31. > :14:36.helping weather need is most immediate. We must always be careful
:14:37. > :14:39.to make sure steps taken by the government don't inadvertently
:14:40. > :14:42.facilitate further traffic in and difficult journeys, we must channel
:14:43. > :14:46.money to where it can have the most impact and help the most people.
:14:47. > :14:54.Part of preventing exploitation is to give women family planning
:14:55. > :15:04.services, so will he condemn John's gag reel? The UK is a global leader
:15:05. > :15:06.in family planning, and the Secretary of State is bringing
:15:07. > :15:10.together a significant family planning conference which the UK
:15:11. > :15:13.need to ensure that where we are need to ensure that where we are
:15:14. > :15:15.able to help people lead better able to help people lead better
:15:16. > :15:21.lives to deliver economic growth, and to empower women, we continue to
:15:22. > :15:25.be a global leader in that space, that is what we need to do and of
:15:26. > :15:30.course we always have two adopted the decisions made by our
:15:31. > :15:36.international leaders. Despite the leading role which the former Prime
:15:37. > :15:39.Minister played, there has been slow progress domestically. Can the
:15:40. > :15:44.Secretary of State update the how is our progress of implementing these
:15:45. > :15:50.goals across government departments? I thank her for her question. The
:15:51. > :15:54.global goals are absolutely embedded, not just in terms of what
:15:55. > :15:57.it does, but across government. I may have mentioned Bloomsday in
:15:58. > :16:01.other questions as well but we are in the process of revising every
:16:02. > :16:02.single departmental plan across government and the global goals will
:16:03. > :16:15.be recognised in that. The humanitarian situation in South
:16:16. > :16:18.Sudan is deeply concerning with 4.9 million people who do not have
:16:19. > :16:23.enough to eat, famine has been declared in the state. We are
:16:24. > :16:26.monitoring the situation, but we are working to get direct AIDS into
:16:27. > :16:37.South Sudan in what is a devastating time for the country. -- direct aid.
:16:38. > :16:43.As well as providing humanitarian assistance, is there any prospect in
:16:44. > :16:46.building some in a country resilience for the future? This is
:16:47. > :16:52.an important point that my honourable friend is making. Our
:16:53. > :16:57.priority is in CAD, it is food assistance and water. We have to
:16:58. > :17:00.recognise we are also asking others to step up, donors in particular.
:17:01. > :17:05.But calling on all sides involved in the conflict to end the fighting
:17:06. > :17:10.because we need long-term medical solutions if we are going to end the
:17:11. > :17:13.current crisis we are seeing. The famine declared in South Sudan is
:17:14. > :17:22.that first anywhere in the world for six years. They launched their
:17:23. > :17:25.report. How is our department responding to this crisis and will
:17:26. > :17:33.she defined above the aid budget for those in desperate need?
:17:34. > :17:41.Perceval, if I may say so, Mr Speaker, it is important we
:17:42. > :17:45.recognise -- first of all. We are seeing for crises around the world,
:17:46. > :17:51.or famines, an unprecedented time. This is the first time we seen a
:17:52. > :17:55.situation. I don't see this as an issue about how we spend money
:17:56. > :18:00.across government departments, this is about how the UK shows global
:18:01. > :18:03.leadership when it comes to times of humanitarian crisis in the world.
:18:04. > :18:07.What I can say is the British Government is leading the world
:18:08. > :18:12.right now, coloured and others to step but saving lives and changing
:18:13. > :18:16.lives at this critical time -- calling on others. The Anglican
:18:17. > :18:23.Alliance has a network of churches in South Sudan and can help get aid
:18:24. > :18:29.to those. I could ask her how she engaging with the Anglican community
:18:30. > :18:34.in that area? She is right that when it comes the church the Anglican
:18:35. > :18:38.community, they are present and we are working with full partners
:18:39. > :18:43.because of the nature of the situation on the ground. Let's be
:18:44. > :18:46.frank, there is no easy solution in terms of aid access, so we're
:18:47. > :18:51.working with full partners. It is important to recognise that all
:18:52. > :18:56.partners and humanitarian workers are doing very difficult to work in
:18:57. > :19:02.very challenging situations. This House should praise them for what
:19:03. > :19:08.they are doing. We have been offering assistance was sometime in
:19:09. > :19:12.the general area, given the problems that have been generated in South
:19:13. > :19:15.Sudan in the last six months, can the Minister outlined what specific
:19:16. > :19:23.steps have been taken to get assistance to the people there in
:19:24. > :19:26.recent months? I can, I can. We have been specific in terms of UK support
:19:27. > :19:32.for the partner network I've already referred. But also through UK
:19:33. > :19:37.presence on the ground. Getting direct assistance to people. The
:19:38. > :19:40.situation is challenging, people are being persecuted, violence is
:19:41. > :19:44.driving them out of our homes, people are in camps. We're working
:19:45. > :19:48.to protect civilians and ensure they are within those camps protected and
:19:49. > :19:57.safeguarded as a result as in receipt of food and shelter.
:19:58. > :20:00.Prompted by the question, I spoke to Alistair Darling yesterday and we
:20:01. > :20:09.have a date firmly in the diary for a future meeting. Does he would
:20:10. > :20:13.agree that Scottish international development organisations, while
:20:14. > :20:16.often smaller than the English counterpart, can offer as much in
:20:17. > :20:22.terms of body of money and impact, whilst contributing to the
:20:23. > :20:24.preservation of public opinion in relation to international
:20:25. > :20:31.development? What steps will he take to make sure funded programmes are
:20:32. > :20:37.made more accessible to small the funded international companies based
:20:38. > :20:40.in Scotland? There are two separate questions, to pay tribute to
:20:41. > :20:47.Scottish charities. Ranging from major charities to smaller charities
:20:48. > :20:53.working with the government in the ground. Our department is very much
:20:54. > :20:58.committed to work with smaller NGOs and civil society organisations to
:20:59. > :21:07.know more, can do more and care more than bigger organisations.
:21:08. > :21:13.The Department is continuing to provide support, including budget
:21:14. > :21:20.support and work we are doing to help develop the economy to make it
:21:21. > :21:25.to into the future. The Premier of Montserrat told MPs and peers that
:21:26. > :21:28.he doesn't want his country to be the recipient of aid the generations
:21:29. > :21:32.to come but he is looking for strategic investment to develop the
:21:33. > :21:38.tourism industry. Other minister meet with him to discuss some of his
:21:39. > :21:42.suggestions so they can become once again self-sustaining? As always, Mr
:21:43. > :21:45.Speaker, ministers from this department are delighted to meet the
:21:46. > :21:51.Parliamentary colleagues. I'm sure we would be happy to meet and I can
:21:52. > :22:00.assure her we are looking to invest in long-term economic prospects in
:22:01. > :22:06.Montserrat. The UN assesses that over 3 million people Kearney
:22:07. > :22:10.victims of the ongoing in Ukraine. Our particular concern is about the
:22:11. > :22:16.800,000 people living along the line of contact, suffering continual
:22:17. > :22:26.violence over the last three years. -- currently. Russian aggression is
:22:27. > :22:29.there. It is now heightening in the Ukraine. Apart from seeking a
:22:30. > :22:32.resumption of ceasefire in the east of Ukraine, were the government
:22:33. > :22:39.committed to providing additional support to the Ukrainian government
:22:40. > :22:43.to deal with such numbers? The British Government currently provide
:22:44. > :22:49.support to Ukraine in two ways. Firstly we provide support directly
