PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Islamic State (22 October 2014)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what reports he has received on the volume of oil being sold from oilfields controlled by ISIL; and to whom such sales are being made.

Asked by:
Gareth Thomas (Labour)

We assess that levels of oil production in ISIL held areas are likely to be a fraction of pre-conflict capacity, and that any oil products are likely to be consumed for internal ISIL use, and smuggled into regional markets.
