Baroness Stowell of Beeston
My Lords, I think it is a question of being realistic rather than pessimistic.
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.
