answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2021 answer text <p>We are aware that British nationals, including children, are located in IDP camps in north east Syria. Due to the shifting circumstances on the ground we are not in a position currently to make an accurate estimate of their number.</p><p>We endeavour to locate British unaccompanied or orphaned children, who are innocent victims of war, and work with partners to facilitate their return where feasible (taking into account national security concerns). Establishing their whereabouts and identity is not straightforward, but we have facilitated a number of such returns to the UK. The Foreign Secretary noted on 21 November 2019, following the first repatriation of children, that they &quot;should never have been subjected to the horrors of war&quot; and that their return home was facilitated &quot;because it was the right thing to do.&quot; Each case is considered on a case by case basis.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 26/04/2021 09:29:44 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
