28 Jan 2025Foreign Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 668)

There has arguably been an autonomous Kurdish region on its border for the entirety of this conflict, operating with a US security guarantee, effectively. There must be some scope for that to exist alongside Turkey.

I am interested in extrapolating a little bit further on this, because we are going to talk about Islamic State and foreign fighters, but HTS has also had foreign fighters within its ranks. Some of those are Uighurs from the East Turkestan Islamic Movement and elsewhere. While HTS, as it morphs into the state of Syria,

Extrapolating from that in terms of the UK’s responsibility in this area and what the drivers are for saying no, is our rationale an outlier when we are saying no, or is it the same logic that other countries apply?

28 Jan 2025Foreign Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 668)

The issue here goes back to the point about what the threshold is for proving your ability to evidence that they have committed a crime, because it goes back to this political will issue. If you bring somebody back who has just spent the better part of a decade being radicalised in a Syrian prison, whether they went in

You could just strip them of their citizenship and pretend this is now somebody else’s problem somewhere else in the world.

Also, if we want countries to take foreign nationals in Britain back, we have to accept that we have to take British nationals in foreign countries back. That is just the quid pro quo.

Just to follow up on that, because I am interested in this money issue, I have seen figures of anywhere between $5 billion and $55 billion in terms of the size of the Captagon market. Dr Khatib, if you have a new Syria right now that does not have a source of income, is there any risk that we see the new regime, crimin

28 Jan 2025Foreign Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 668)

Mr Collis, you have talked about the Assad regime being a criminal enterprise. Syria was obviously also a narco state, with something like 80% or 90% of the world’s Captagon production happening inside Syria. I am interested to understand to what extent HTS is dealing with that in the areas that it controls. Is it deal

27 Jan 2025SEND Provision

Some 52% of students at Dorset Studio school in my constituency have special educational needs, which is well above the national average, and 11% are in receipt of education, health and care plans. A funding agreement between the Treasury and the Department for Education in February 2023 to upgrade the school’s facilit

On the data, you referred to the hardening of support among the 16 to 25 youth group. Have you seen any evidence to suggest a hardening of support for a single-state solution as a result of the October attacks? How far has the dial moved?

But when you have the President of the United States of America talking about depopulating Gaza, which is about creating a single ethnically homogenous land, for want of a better word, does that lend weight to those people who are advocating for a single-state solution? Do you expect to see that moving the dial further

24 Jan 2025Climate and Nature Bill

I thank my Dorset neighbour for giving way. As always, I find myself agreeing with a lot of what he says, not least on the cost of inaction being far greater than the cost of action. He makes many good points about the fact that we have outsourced our carbon emissions to places far away, but does he agree that we often

14 Jan 2025Railway Services: South-West

My hon. Friend is making some important points. Does he agree that the decision to renationalise South Western Railway a year before the Government have set up GB Rail will inevitably mean that investment in the kind of upgrades he is talking about will stagnate completely?

T5. Dorset police operates across more than 1,000 square miles, yet under the current funding settlement it receives far less money than urban areas with similar crime rates operating over smaller geographies. Will the Government commit to reviewing the funding settlement to ensure that rural areas such as West Dorset
