answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2016 answer text <p>The Global Coalition is making good progress against Daesh in Iraq. Over 30% of the territory that Daesh took in 2014 has been re-taken. The Iraqi security forces have substantially cleared Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, and are working to make the area safe for displaced people to return. Further north, Kurdish forces have driven Daesh from the Sinjar area. In Syria, the Coalition is continuing to strike Daesh economic targets, including oilfields where we judge that recent strikes on its illicit oil industry have reduced Daesh's revenues by some 10%.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 10/02/2016 16:42:08 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
