Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions his Department has had with the Secretary of State for International Development on the provision of humanitarian aid to (a) YPG and (b) the Kurdish community in Syria; and if he will make a statement.

We recognise that Kurdish people in Syria have suffered during the conflict, alongside many other Syrians, primarily through the brutality of both the Assad regime and terrorist groups such as Daesh. As such, Syrian Kurds have been amongst the recipients of UK aid in our largest ever response to a humanitarian crisis £2.46 billion committed in total.
