Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate her Department has made of the number of UK nationals who have crossed into Syria from the Turkish border and have since returned to the UK in the last 12 months.
This question was answered on 7th September 2015
Figures on how many UK nationals have crossed into Syria from the Turkish border and returned to the UK in the last 12 months are not available.
However, we are aware of around 700 people from the UK who are of concern to the Police and Security Services and who are thought to have travelled to the region since the start of the conflict. We estimate that around half of those have returned.
