[Lord Avebury]

My Lords, reverting to the need to eradicate Daesh and its territorial base as part of a comprehensive strategy, does the noble Baroness agree that the YPG is the most effective military force in opposition to Daesh? Will we therefore make supreme efforts to bolster its efforts by supplying armaments and logistics?

[Baroness Stowell of Beeston]

We are supporting the moderate opposition groups in the area so that they can combat ISIL and Assad, and we will continue to do that.

[The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Stowell of Beeston) (Con)]

Order! I think that we are still getting used to taking turns now that we are in a new Parliament and we are sitting in different places. May I suggest that my noble friend Lord Marlesford has an opportunity to ask a question on this occasion?
