answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2019 answer text <p>​We are appalled by reports that hospitals in north west Syria have been hit by Russian and regime airstrikes. The UN estimate that 20 health facilities, at least 9 of which are hospitals, have been affected by recent hostilities. It is inexcusable that hospitals have been attacked despite their coordinates being provided to Russia and others by the UN deconfliction mechanism. We urgently call on the Syrian regime, Russia and all other actors to abide by international law and respect the ceasefire agreed last year and the deconfliction mechanism.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 10/06/2019 14:37:48 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>​We are gravely concerned by the offensive launched by the Syrian regime and Russia in Idlib. We made this clear at an emergency session of the UN Security Council and warned that a full-scale offensive would risk a humanitarian catastrophe. We with the US, France and eight other countries issued a joint statement on 10 May and we released a further statement with France and Germany on 13 May. We will continue to call out the regime and its backers for their actions and to press all sides to return to the ceasefire agreed last September at Sochi.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 15/05/2019 15:17:42 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>Since military operations began, the Global Coalition against Daesh and its partners in Syria and Iraq have recaptured the vast majority of Daesh territory. Important advances continue to be made in the last small Daesh pocket in eastern Syria. As the United States recognises, it is important that the withdrawal of US forces from Syria takes place in a way which allows this significant progress to be maintained. However, much remains to be done in the global campaign against Daesh. Daesh will remain a threat, whether they hold territory or not. We have already seen indications over the past year in Iraq and Syria of Daesh transitioning to a clandestine network. We remain committed to the Global Coalition and its objective of ensuring Daesh's enduring defeat.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 21/01/2019 15:25:33 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>Her Majesty's Government discussed Turkish military action in Afrin with the Turkish authorities at the highest levels. We called for de-escalation and the protection of civilians, while recognising Turkey's legitimate interest in the security of its borders. All actors in the Syrian conflict must comply with and fully uphold international conventions and norms. We are clear that any allegations of human rights violations, where there is credible evidence of their occurrence, must be investigated and have previously raised incidents with the Turkish authorities where there were grounds to do so.</p><p>The Government has already discussed the situation in Afrin extensively, including in a statement to this House by the Minister of State for the Middle East on 12 March 2018.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 06/12/2018 13:30:58 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
