	uin	HL4589
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/12/2015 answer text <p>The UK was not an observer or participant at the Democratic Syria Conference for Opposition Forces. The UK does not have any diplomatic presence in Syria and staff are unable to travel to Syria due to significant security threats. This conference brought together Syrian Kurdish and Arab parties that reside in Northern Syria. They discussed the future of the country after four years of war and agreed on the creation of the Syrian Democratic Council, the political branch of the Syrian Democratic Forces. Their final statement says that the Syrian crisis must be solved through negotiation, the fight against terrorism and political change through a transition, followed by free and fair elections and a new constitution. The UK continues to work towards transition in Syria on the basis of the Geneva Communiqué.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 22/12/2015 14:32:48 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what evidence they have received, if any, of civilian casualties in Syria caused by Russian military action by air, by land, or by cluster weapons; and what assessment they have made of the means available to them to prevent Russian military action from increasing casualties in Syria.
	tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
	uin	HL4591
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/12/2015 answer text It is difficult to ascertain with complete certainty the numbers of civilian casualties as a direct result of Russian attacks, though there are numerous, credible open source reports of civilian casualties as a result of Russian air strikes. Although Russian claims to be targeting Daesh, 75 per cent of their strikes have been against other targets. We continue to urge Russia to end strikes against the moderate opposition and, instead, to use its political leverage over the Assad regime to stop the regime’s indiscriminate bombing against civilians. In February 2014 we co-sponsored UN Security Council Resolution 2139 calling for the protection of civilians and an end to indiscriminate attacks, including the use of barrel bombs and obstructing the flow of humanitarian aid. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 30/12/2015 14:16:55 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	tabling member printed	Lord Warner
	uin	HL4608
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/12/2015 answer text <p>The Government is clear that decisions on how money should be spent in the local area are best made by local authorities. Local Government spending power is therefore not ringfenced. This allows local authorities the freedom to prioritise and make their own decisions on spending. Table 2.17 on page 100 of the Spending Review shows a cash terms increase in local authority spending. This includes a £1.5 billion grant especially for social care within Local Government DEL and the Office for Budget Responsibility’s assessment of the increase likely to be raised through the social care precept within Locally Financed Expenditure.</p><br /> answering member printed Lord O'Neill of Gatley question first answered 23/12/2015 10:34:24 answering member 4536 label Biography information for Lord O'Neill of Gatley
