Syria: Detainees
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with international partners on mitigating the potential threat from former British nationals in (a) al-Hol and (b) al-Roj prison camps, following recent instability in Syria.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
We continue to work closely with partners to regularly assess and monitor any threats from within al-Hol and al-Roj camps in North East Syria, including through our role in the Global Coalition Against Daesh's military mission.
We do not comment on individual cases, operational intelligence, or security matters, but we will not hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to protect the UK from those who pose a threat to our security.
