Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations the UK Government is making and to whom on behalf of British citizens who travelled to Syria for humanitarian, personal or religious reasons and have subsequently been trapped within Daesh territory.

​Since 2012, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has advised against all travel to Syria and made clear that, with the closure of our Embassy in Damascus, we are unable to provide consular assistance to British nationals in Syria. We do not generally comment on the detail of individual consular cases.
