Angus Brendan MacNeil – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Angus Brendan MacNeil on 2015-11-25.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on steps to tackle ISIS in Iraq of UK involvement in military operations in Syria.

Penny Mordaunt

The fight against ISIL needs to be carried forward in both Syria and Iraq. We judge that increasing action against ISIL’s command and control capacity, its military materiel and its cross-border communication and supply routes in Syria will assist the Counter-ISIL/Da’esh campaign in Iraq.
