answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2018 answer text <p>​We welcome the work of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in investigating the 7 April attack on Douma. The interim report noted that chlorine was found in samples taken during the investigation, along with residues of explosives. We look forward to further reporting in due course. In addition, the 12 September 2018 report of the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Syria also found that &quot;a vast body of evidence&quot; suggested that a gas cylinder containing chlorine, delivered by helicopter, struck a residential building in Douma on 7 April.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 15/10/2018 14:43:47 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/09/2018 answer text <p>These reports, produced by the Russian Ministry of Defence, fit into a wider Russian disinformation campaign which includes absurd and baseless insinuations about the UK. The campaign is a desperate attempt to deflect attention from the appalling crimes of the Asad regime, including its documented and repeated use of chemical weapons. We are clear that this Russian disinformation campaign is designed to distort, distract and confuse the facts. In the last couple of years, the Syrian regime and its Russian backers have repeatedly hidden behind the rationale of confronting terrorism to launch brutal, indiscriminate campaigns, killing countless children and civilians in the process. If they do the same in Idlib, they will cause a human disaster that could leave thousands dead and many more homeless.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 25/09/2018 15:48:11 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
