Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many chemical weapon attacks took place in Syria under Bashar al-Assad's rule.

Independent international investigations mandated by the UN Security Council and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) have confirmed that the Assad regime used chemical weapons at least nine times against its own people after Syria joined the Chemical Weapons Convention in 2013, including chlorine and sarin nerve agent.
