Mr Speaker
I call the hon. Member for Stafford (Jeremy Lefroy); he can be the author of the brevity textbook.
Jeremy Lefroy (Stafford) (Con)
I pay tribute to the Iraqi security forces and the British armed forces for their work. Will the Secretary of State update us on another humanitarian threat to the people of Mosul, namely the Mosul dam, which is in an incredibly dangerous condition and, being upstream of Mosul, threatens the city?
Priti Patel
That is a very serious situation and, again, we are working on stabilisation and are making every effort to provide the support required in that area. We will continue to do that; this is an ongoing situation. We are not only monitoring it but are being very active in the support that we can give.
