To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the practice of using informal border crossings between China and Myanmar for humanitarian purposes.

The Department for International Development has not directly assessed the practice of informal border crossings for humanitarian purposes. The UK funds humanitarian support in Kachin and Shan States (£6.1 million in financial year 2017/18). We also continue to press the Burmese authorities for improved access for international groups to Kachin and Shan States at all opportunities.
