To ask Her Majesty's Government how much they provided in technical assistance funding to Bahrain in the financial year 2017–18; and how much funding they intend to allocate to Bahrain for technical assistance in the financial year 2018–19.

The Government works with a number of implementation partners and beneficiaries to support Bahraini-led reform. These programmes aim to support progress on building effective and accountable institutions, strengthening the rule of law, and justice reform. All of our work is in line with international standards, and aims to share the UK's expertise and experience. Any training provided by, or on behalf of, the British Government fully complies with our domestic and international human rights obligations. As many projects and programme activities deliver across the region, it is not possible to provide a breakdown according to each beneficiary state.
