Mr. Streeter

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what procedures have been put in place after 1 March to improve the British Government's response to natural disasters abroad. [118814]

We already have well established and effective procedures to deal with disasters overseas. These are kept under review. We do not consider that any changes are necessary at present.
