Asked by:
Rosie Duffield (Independent)

The UK is committed to supporting efforts to address the humanitarian crisis in Syria. In our engagement with Turkey at all levels, we regularly highlight the need for protection of civilians, freedom of movement for those caught up in violence, and the urgent need for full and unhindered humanitarian access. We are clear that displaced individuals must be allowed to return home peacefully if they wish to do so. The Prime Minister discussed these issues with President Erdogan during his recent visit to the UK.
