This has focussed on strengthening the moderate opposition, building resilience against extremists, fostering civil society structures in besieged areas, promoting Human Rights, delivering basic governance and laying the foundations for a more peaceful and inclusive future for Syria. Further details of our funding can be found on the Gov.uk website.</p><p>The UK has always punched above its weight in helping deal with the effects of the Syria crisis. Our vision for Syria is an open, democratic society with greater social, economic and political participation where violent extremism does not have a place and where refugees feel safe to return. That is why, alongside our pledge of over £1.1 billion in humanitarian aid, the Prime Minister announced a commitment of at least £1 billion to reconstruction in Syria during the 26 October Commons debate.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 22/12/2015 16:23:01 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

These communities contain a population of 1.1 million people. Our support means that local councils have the assistance they need to deliver essential services, including health, education and utilities, in a way that they were not able to previously. This also includes specific support for building good governance practices. This is confirmed by our project partners who operate in Syria.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 18/12/2015 14:33:43 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2015 answer text <p>Following the adoption of UN Security Council resolution 2118, and on becoming a State Party to the Chemical Weapons Convention, Syria produced a declaration of its chemical weapons programme. Those chemical weapons declared by Syria have been removed from Syria for secure destruction. As part of this international effort, in May 2015 the UK completed the destruction of 200 tonnes of precursor chemicals from Syria. However, industrial chemicals such as chlorine are still being used as weapons in Syria, in breach of the Chemical Weapons Convention and UN Security Council resolutions, including resolution 2118. We strongly condemn such breaches. The UK, along with international partners, remains committed to ensuring that those responsible are held to account. UN Security Council Resolution 2235, adopted in August 2015, creates an international mechanism tasked with identifying the people responsible for these appalling acts. The Syrian regime also has serious questions to answer in respect of its weapon programmes declaration, and cannot be considered to be in full compliance with its Chemical Weapons Convention and UN Security Council obligations before it has done so satisfactorily. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is urgently seeking answers from the Syrian regime.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 07/09/2015 15:03:47 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
