<p>The UK shares the concerns of France and the United States about continuing reports
of chemical weapons use by the Syrian regime. UK officials are in regular contact
with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, whose experts are investigating
the allegations of chemical weapon use in Eastern Ghouta, alongside a number of other
incidents in the past two years. The British Government has made clear that it condemns
the use of chemical weapons by anyone anywhere and that those who use chemical weapons
should be held to account.</p><p>There are no current plans for military action against

in Syria and ultimately to achieve a political settlement.</p>
