Session

Parliamentary Committee Hearing at the House of Commons, UK

The objective of the meeting is to provide further evidence to the UK House of Commons International Development Committee inquiry into the Syrian refuge crisis.

The main focus of the intervention will be on access to decent work by Syrian refugees, particularly in host countries (Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan) and child protection issues, specifically child labour among Syrian refugees.

The Committee monitors the policy, administration and spending of the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and takes an interest in the policies and procedures of the multilateral agencies and NGOs to which DFID contributes.
