answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2015 answer text <p>We hold regular bilateral and multilateral discussions on Daesh funding, including within the Global Coalition’s Counter ISIL Finance Group, which is co-chaired by the US, Saudi Arabia and Italy. Daesh has three main sources of funding: extortion from communities living in territory under its control; selling oil and antiquities; and donations from individuals. The UK has led efforts to create and enforce an international sanctions regime to cut off financial support for Daesh and other terrorist groups. We work with allies, particularly in the region, to ensure sanctions are enforced and that measures are being taken to stop the Daesh trade in oil and hydrocarbon products. Examples of this work include training local customs officials in the region to prevent oil smuggling. We are also focused on ensuring that individuals involved in brokering oil deals between Daesh and the Assad regime have been or will be sanctioned by the EU.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 10/12/2015 14:25:51 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2015 answer text <p>We urgently need to see a conclusion to the UN-led political process and the formation of a Government of National Accord in Libya. The Libyan Political Agreement announced at Skhirat in October is the only basis for peace and security in Libya, and only a Government of National Accord can begin the difficult work of establishing effective, legitimate governance, restoring stability and tackling the threat posed by Daesh. The Rome Conference co-chaired by Italy, the US, and the UN on 13 December will be an opportunity to demonstrate the determination of the international community on the way forward. The UK has been at the forefront of efforts to coordinate international support for a unity Government.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 10/12/2015 14:23:51 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2015 answer text <p>We are extremely concerned about the growing threat from extremist groups in Libya, including Daesh and groups affiliated with it. These groups pose a threat to the stability of Libya and the region, and potentially to the UK and our interests and citizens overseas. We are working closely with international partners to deepen our understanding of Daesh’s presence in Libya, including in Sirte, and to develop a comprehensive approach to defeat it. This includes working closely with Libya’s neighbours to enhance their ability to protect themselves from terrorists in Libya. We are supporting UN-led efforts to establish a Government of National Accord (GNA) in Libya, which will be crucial in the long term to tackling the Daesh threat present in that country and across the region.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 10/12/2015 14:22:18 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
