answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2018 answer text <p>​Daesh retains a presence in Syria, holding pockets of territory and as an insurgency. This includes pockets of Daesh activity in the south east of Syria, in the desert regions near the Euphrates river valley, and in the Yarmouk camp in the Damascus suburbs. The UK does not believe there to be a significant presence of Daesh fighters in Afrin or in other parts of northern Syria. We are aware of reports of dispersal of Daesh fighters through areas of northern Syria, but these are likely to be in small numbers and transitory in nature. As a leading member of the Global Coalition, the UK will continue to be at the forefront of efforts to ensure that Syria and Iraq are cleared of remaining Daesh pockets.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 22/03/2018 16:16:00 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2018 answer text <p>​We are closely following developments in Afrin in north-western Syria, and the Foreign Secretary, the Minister for the Middle East and I are in regular contact with our Turkish counterparts. We have called for de-escalation and the protection of civilians. While recognising Turkey's legitimate interest in the security of its borders, it remains in our shared interest to focus on achieving a political settlement that ends the war and suffering, provides stability for all Syrians and the wider region, and secures the enduring defeat of Daesh.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 22/03/2018 15:17:40 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
