Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Answer of 28 March 2017 to Answer 69549, what strategic and tactical changes have been made to coalition operations against Daesh since the (a) Ministerial Plenary for the Global Coalition Working to Defeat ISIS on 22 March 2017 and (b) inauguration of President Trump.

We have made no strategic or tactical changes to Coalition operations during the period in question because the military campaign against Daesh is going well. Significant progress has been made in liberating territory formerly held by the terrorists, and although the fight is not yet over, millions of people across Iraq and Syria have been able to resume normal life.
