Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps are being taken to ensure that captured British suspected Islamic State fighters in north-east Syria are held securely for the rest of their lives; and what plans he has in relation to those fighters in the event of a Turkish invasion.

The British Government is committed to making sure that individuals who have joined Daesh and committed these crimes face justice. Where there is evidence that crimes have been committed, foreign fighters should be brought to justice in accordance with due legal process, regardless of their nationality. The appropriate process will depend on the individual circumstances.
