Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the security threat from former Daesh fighters fleeing Iraq to regional stability in the Middle East.

​We assess that Daesh, including through dispersing fighters, remain a serious threat to the stability of the region and our common security. As a consequence we continue to work closely with the Global Coalition Against Daesh, and European and regional partners, to lower the risk posed by fighters in the region.
