	tabling member printed	Lord Truscott
	uin	HL7372
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2018 answer text <p>The aim of the targeted airstrikes conducted by the UK on 14 April 2018 was to alleviate human suffering by degrading the Syrian regime's chemical weapons capability and deterring the future use of chemical weapons. The UK continues to participate in the Global Coalition with the aim of defeating the scourge of Daesh. We want to see a political settlement that ends the war and suffering, and provides stability for all Syrians and the wider region. Syria's future must be for Syrians to decide. The UK is the third largest bilateral humanitarian donor to the Syria crisis and has committed £2.71 billion to date.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 03/05/2018 15:35:47 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

	tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
	uin	HL7009
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2018 answer text <p>The costs of operational flying sorties are calculated on a net additional cost basis, i.e. they are based on those costs, over and above existing funding, that the Department would not have incurred but for the activity. As the aircraft involved were already deployed on operations, additional operating costs are not expected from the activity. No net additional costs for the weapons consumed will materialise unless the Department assesses that additional weapons must be procured to meet current planning assumptions.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 25/04/2018 16:19:31 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
