<p>The former Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon.
Friend the Member for Richmond (Yorks) (Mr Hague), met the President and Prime Minister
of the Kurdistan Region in Iraq on 27 June, and our Consul General in Erbil regularly
meets the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and others to discuss the humanitarian
crisis and assistance to displaced persons including Christians from Mosul. Most recently
the Consul General met the Head of the KRG’s Department for Foreign Relations on 6
August to discuss the specific needs of Christians and other minority groups including
Yezidis fleeing from Sinjar. Foreign and Commonwealth Office officials meet regularly
with the KRG representation to the UK, and have done so several times since the Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant’s (ISIL) attacks on Mosul and other parts of Iraq in
mid June 2014.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
