answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2017 answer text <p>The Coalition are providing air support to Syrian Democratic Forces who began operations to isolate Daesh's stronghold in Raqqah on 5 November 2016. Since then, Syrian Democratic Forces have made considerable progress and are now less than ten kilometres from the outskirts of the city, increasingly constraining Daesh's freedom of manoeuvre. It will continue to be a long and difficult fight but Daesh have already lost some 30% of the territory they once controlled in Syria and our strategy to take the fight to Daesh in both Syria and Iraq is working.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 02/03/2017 16:07:12 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
