uin	HL12707
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>Since military operations began, the Global Coalition against Daesh and its partners in Syria and Iraq have recaptured the vast majority of Daesh territory. Important advances continue to be made in the last small Daesh pocket in eastern Syria. As the United States recognises, it is important that the withdrawal of US forces from Syria takes place in a way which allows this significant progress to be maintained. However, much remains to be done in the global campaign against Daesh. Daesh will remain a threat, whether they hold territory or not. We have already seen indications over the past year in Iraq and Syria of Daesh transitioning to a clandestine network. We remain committed to the Global Coalition and its objective of ensuring Daesh's enduring defeat.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 21/01/2019 15:25:33 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>​The Foreign Secretary spoke with United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on 19 December with regard to President Trump's decision, and senior officials have been in close contact with their US counterparts on the implementation of this decision. As the US has acknowledged, much remains to be done to maintain the successful progress achieved in the global campaign against Daesh. We, like the US, remain committed to the Global Coalition and its objective of ensuring Daesh's enduring defeat.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 21/01/2019 15:24:33 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is not able at present to independently verify the accuracy or otherwise of these reports. The UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has estimated the number of displaced civilians at 137,070 people. We are in communication with the Turkish government about their operations in northern Syria, and continue to call for freedom of movement, in accordance with international humanitarian law. All those displaced by the violence must be allowed to return home peacefully if they wish to do so.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/05/2018 11:27:49 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL7407
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/05/2018 answer text <p>The British Government is in close communication with the Turkish government about their military operations in northern Syria. We have been consistent in calling for de-escalation and the protection of civilians, and ministers have urged their Turkish counterparts to do everything they can to facilitate access for life-saving humanitarian aid, and to allow freedom of movement for those caught up in the violence, in accordance with international humanitarian law. We support discussions between Turkey and the US, and believe that a negotiated agreement taking into account the security concerns of both parties is necessary to prevent further conflict. Achieving a political settlement to end the war in Syria remains in our shared interest.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/05/2018 16:54:21 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
