Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what the Government's presence is on the UN's Internal Board of Inquiry into the attack on the UN aid convoy in Syria on 19 September 2016.

​The UK welcomes the establishment of an internal and independent United Nations Board of Inquiry into the incident involving an aid convoy in Syria on 19 September and fully supports its investigation. It is fundamental that humanitarian workers who are risking their lives to deliver badly needed aid across Syria can operate in safety. The UN inquiry is wholly independent. The UK does not provide funding and there is no UK Government presence on the Board.
