ISIL: Iraq and Syria

Proceeding contribution from Meg Hillier (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on ISIL: Iraq and Syria.

I welcome the Foreign Secretary’s support for the peshmerga and the ongoing support of the UK Government, and he was right to recognise the bravery

of the defenders of Kobane. However, what detailed conversations is he having about opening up a humanitarian corridor to ensure that the people, including women, who have taken up arms to defend their families are supported and protected and that we avoid the apocalypse mentioned by the right hon. and learned Member for North East Fife (Sir Menzies Campbell)?
