Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Alistair Burt and Nigel Mills

Tuesday 22nd January 2019 Commons Chamber

[Alistair Burt]

It is important that this does not disturb the work against Daesh, but the United States has also made it clear, as have others, that the Kurdish community must not be affected by any untoward incursion by Turkey or any others. It is important that the stability of north-east Syria is not affected by American decisions.
