answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2016 answer text <p>​As recent progress in Qayyarah in Iraq and Manbij in Syria demonstrates, our strategy of supporting local forces, including with airstrikes is working. The Coalition assesses that Daesh has been driven out of around half the territory it once occupied in Iraq and over 20 per cent in Syria. Thousands of people have been freed from Daesh's rule and many of those who have escaped have now been able to return to their homes. The next major challenges are driving Daesh out of Raqqa and Mosul.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 17/10/2016 16:01:31 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
