This question was answered on 21st September 2015
The UK is committed to supporting the most vulnerable people in need inside Syria wherever they are, in accordance with international humanitarian principles. The UK co-sponsored and lobbied hard for UN Security Council Resolutions 2165 and 2191 which enable the UN to deliver aid across border, without the consent of the regime, to assist those in the hardest to reach areas.
