uin	HL4177
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2015 answer text <p>We have not made such an estimate. We recognise that defeating Daesh will take a combination of military measures and political process. In Iraq we will continue to support government and Kurdish forces already rolling back Daesh. In Syria, this means an end to civil war, allowing all those forces committed to a stable, inclusive and unified Syria - including the army of an internationally-supported Syrian government - to fight Daesh together on the ground.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 10/12/2015 17:07:53 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
