Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the government of Syria about rising sectarian violence; and what action they are taking to strengthen efforts to combat extremism, sectarianism and hate speech to ensure the protection of all civilians, including vulnerable religious minorities.

I refer the Noble Lord to the Written Ministerial Statement (HLWS1285) I made to the House on 28 January 2026.
