Fiona Bruce (Congleton, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what steps the Government is taking to respond to the humanitarian situation in North Korea.
Alan Duncan (Minister of State, International Development; Rutland and Melton, Conservative)
The UK is not taking any direct steps to respond to the humanitarian situation in North Korea. We believe that the UK's investment in the various humanitarian organisations working in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) represents the best way for the UK to assist the people of the DPRK. We are in close contact with these humanitarian agencies and continue to monitor the situation.
