To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what recent estimate he has made of the number of displaced Burmese people; and how many of them are in refugee camps. [148120]

DFID uses estimates of displaced Burmese people made by UN agencies. According to the latest figures obtained from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, there are 19,500 Burmese in refugee camps in Bangladesh and 116,711 in refugee camps in Thailand. There are no accurate figures for the number of displaced Burmese people in other locations.
