answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2019 answer text <p>The Construction fair taking place in Erbil in June (26 June – 29 June) is advertised as a ‘Made in Iraq’ fair, so consequently will attract primarily local dealers and contractors, and we are not aware of any UK firms planning to attend.</p><p> </p><p>The Erbil International Trade Fair (30 Sept - 03 Oct) is the biggest international multi-sector trade fair organised in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to encourage the re-opening of the Iraq–Syria border crossing at Al-Qaim and Abu Kamal; and whether they plan to discuss this matter with the government of the USA, with particular reference to access to, and humanitarian supplies for, 40,000 internally displaced people in the Rukban Camp.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL15463
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>​The UK remains deeply concerned by the humanitarian situation in Rukban camp. Together with our international partners including the United States, we are urgently pressing the Syrian regime and Russia to allow further UN aid convoys from Damascus. There is no legitimate reason why the regime is refusing to facilitate sustained humanitarian access to the camp. We do not assess the re-opening of the Iraq-Syria border crossing at Al-Qaim and Abu Kamal would assist in this matter as, even if agreed, any aid convoy using this crossing would still require the regime's approval to reach the Rukban camp.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/05/2019 15:02:51 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
