Ann Clwyd – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Ann Clwyd on 2015-12-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what support the Government has provided to the Syrian Democratic Forces.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

The Global Coalition has provided air support to the Syrian Democratic Forces in their fight against Daesh. The US is leading international efforts to support the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and has provided ammunition and other equipment. The UK has not provided any ammunition or equipment to the SDF, but is playing a full role in the Coalition air campaign in Syria. We will work closely with the US, and other Coalition allies, to consider additional support to all partner forces in Syria fighting Daesh, including the SDF.
