	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2015 answer text <p>Following the adoption of UN Security Council resolution 2118, and on becoming a State Party to the Chemical Weapons Convention, Syria produced a declaration of its chemical weapons programme. Those chemical weapons declared by Syria have been removed from Syria for secure destruction. As part of this international effort, in May 2015 the UK completed the destruction of 200 tonnes of precursor chemicals from Syria. However, industrial chemicals such as chlorine are still being used as weapons in Syria, in breach of the Chemical Weapons Convention and UN Security Council resolutions, including resolution 2118. We strongly condemn such breaches. The UK, along with international partners, remains committed to ensuring that those responsible are held to account. UN Security Council Resolution 2235, adopted in August 2015, creates an international mechanism tasked with identifying the people responsible for these appalling acts. The Syrian regime also has serious questions to answer in respect of its weapon programmes declaration, and cannot be considered to be in full compliance with its Chemical Weapons Convention and UN Security Council obligations before it has done so satisfactorily. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is urgently seeking answers from the Syrian regime.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 07/09/2015 15:03:47 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

	tabling member constituency	Hampstead and Kilburn

	uin	19719
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2015 answer text The Conflict, Stability and Security Fund has allocated £55 million to Syria for the current financial year. Funding for the next four financial years has not yet been agreed by the National Security Council. The UK has delivered over £100m in non-humanitarian support to Syria, Jordan and Lebanon since the start of the crisis from the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund and its predecessor, the Conflict Pool. This has focussed on strengthening the moderate opposition, building resilience against extremists, fostering civil society structures in besieged areas, promoting Human Rights, delivering basic governance and laying the foundations for a more peaceful and inclusive future for Syria. Further details of this can be found on the Gov.uk website. The UK has always punched above its weight in helping deal with the effects of the Syria crisis. That’s why the Prime Minister announced that we will commit at least £1 billion to reconstruction in Syria. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 18/12/2015 14:45:09 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
