(asked on 4th April 2017) - View Source

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the answer by Baroness Anelay of St Johns on 20 March (HL Deb, col 10), what estimate they have made of the cost of providing practical support to rebel fighters in Syria since 1 January 2015.


This question was answered on 20th April 2017

The UK has delivered over £100 million in non-humanitarian support to Syria, Jordan and Lebanon since the start of 2015 from the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund. This has focussed on strengthening the moderate opposition, which includes the High Negotiations Committee, civil society, local councils, human rights and media activists. This support is building resilience against extremists; fostering civil society in besieged areas; promoting human rights; delivering basic governance; and laying the foundations for a more peaceful and inclusive future for the people of Syria.
