answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/04/2019 answer text <p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has advised against all travel to Syria since 2012 because of the dangers associated with the conflict there. It remains the case that the UK has no consular presence within Syria from which to provide assistance, whether to children or adults. Outside of Syria, we would of course respond to requests for consular assistance to British children, including facilitating their return as appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 01/04/2019 14:25:11 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/04/2019 answer text <p>​We wish to see those who have fought for or supported Daesh in Iraq or Syria, whatever their nationality, brought to justice for their crimes in accordance with due legal process in the most appropriate jurisdiction. If a UK national returns from Syria, it is for the police and Crown Prosecution Service to decide if they should be prosecuted, which is a decision partly based on the available evidence. Individuals can be convicted in UK courts of offences committed overseas (including preparation of terrorism, encouragement of terrorism and membership of a proscribed organisation). However, for crimes committed in Daesh-held territory in Syria it can be extremely difficult to obtain evidence that would be admissible in a UK court.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 01/04/2019 16:19:01 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
