However, the actions of the Syrian regime have shown that it retained some weapons and failed to abide by the obligations it took on when joining the Chemical Weapons Convention.</p><p>As I said to the House on 18 April, the deal was no substitute for resolute action. The UK continues to promote a clear and united international community approach to put an end to the possession and use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime.</p> answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson question first answered 26/04/2017 10:45:31 answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson
