Thank you for contacting me about improving the situation of internally displaced people.
I know that the Government recognises the importance of the issues you raise. The Department for International Development estimates there are 38 million internally displaced people who have been forced to leave their homes globally.
I am encouraged that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has confirmed that the UK, alongside partners, is committed to the UN process to develop both a Global Compact on Migration and a Global Compact on Refugees and to work towards their successful delivery.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office works diplomatically to seek the end to conflicts in war zones and to achieve credible political settlements in war torn countries to facilitate the return of internally displaced people safely.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me.
