Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what reports he has received on suspected IS terrorists using Turkey as a route to enter the EU; and if he will discuss those reports with the Turkish Government.

Turkey is an important partner in our efforts to counter terrorism globally, including on the subject of Daesh fighters returning from Syria and Iraq. The UK is committed to its security and that of our European partners, and will continue to work closely with them, and with the Turkish Government, to mitigate the threat these individuals may pose.
