Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will make it her policy to return British nationals detained in Syria to the UK; and if he will make a statement.

The British Government is clear that those individuals who have fought for, or supported Daesh, whatever their nationality, should face justice and accountability through prosecution in the most appropriate jurisdiction. That will often be in the region where their alleged offences have been committed.
The Government takes these responsibilities extremely seriously which is why, working closely with international partners, we are pursuing all efforts to address this threat and establish pathways for effective prosecution.
