Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether he has received reports of children of UK nationals being held in Iraq or Syria because their parents or a relative is a member of Daesh.

There are a number of British minors in Daesh controlled territory, some have travelled of their own accord, whilst others have travelled with their families.

The UK advises against all travel to Syria and parts of Iraq. Anyone who does travel to these areas, for whatever reason, is putting themselves in considerable danger. Those who travel abroad to participate in conflicts may be committing criminal or terrorism offences and could face prosecution on return to the UK.
