Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he as made of the capability of the Syrian armed forces to deliver chemical weapons other than by aircraft.

It is almost certain that the Syrian armed forces have the capability to deliver chemical weapons by means other than by aircraft. Syrian armed forces are known to have surface-to-surface missiles in their arsenal and therefore are very likely to be capable of delivering chemical weapons in this way.
