answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 answer text <p>​We are aware of the media reports regarding children without documentation in Iraqi displacement camps, although we cannot verify the numbers cited. We recognise the vulnerability of these children and the risks of them being excluded from Iraqi citizenship and society in the future. We continue to raise these concerns with the Iraqi authorities including the importance of formal recognition of all children. We were pleased to hear of the Government of Iraq's initiative to address the status of children born of rape to Yezidi women and hope this will soon be reflected across the country.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 21/05/2019 14:00:03 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
