PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Syria: Military Intervention (15 November 2017)

Coalition officers, including some from the UK, carry out short term visits to Coalition locations in Syria as part of their duties, to co-ordinate Coalition support and to engage partner forces. They are not engaging directly in ground combat operations. The Coalition's military campaign against Daesh - including the RAF's contribution to airstrikes against Daesh targets - will continue for as long as is necessary to liberate the civilian population from the terrorists' evil rule. That campaign is making excellent progress; local forces have now recaptured more than 90% of the territory that Daesh once controlled across Iraq and Syria.
