answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2017 answer text <p><del class="ministerial">​The UK has been at the forefront of those making the case that those found responsible for chemical weapons attacks must be held to account. A UK-US-French attempt to agree UN sanctions in response to previous chemical weapons attacks was vetoed by Russia and China in the UN Security Council on 28 February. In March we helped secure agreement from the EU to add 4 Syrian military officials to the sanctions list for their role in carrying out chemical weapon attacks. We welcome the further sanctions Canada and the US have introduced in recent days. We will continue work with partners to take action against those responsible for chemical weapons attacks. </del><ins class="ministerial">The UK’s priority for the recent session of the OPCW Executive Council was to make clear international condemnation of the 4 April Khan Sheikhoun attack and to confirm our support for the OPCW investigation which began immediately following that attack. We welcome the Executive Council’s overwhelming vote on 20 April to reject a Russian-Iranian proposal which would have distracted from and undermined the OPCW expert investigations which are already under way. We will continue to support the work of the OPCW Fact Finding Mission and the OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism.</ins></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson question first answered 26/04/2017 13:30:31 question first ministerially corrected 27/04/2017 15:35:02 answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson previous answer version 45979 answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson
