Aleppo and Syria

Proceeding contribution from Liz Kendall (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 October 2016. It occurred during Emergency debate on Aleppo and Syria.

I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for giving way. Does he agree that the reason why we have not managed to secure no-fly zones is that people are understandably concerned that they would escalate tensions, and even conflict with Russia? However, the proposal is that the answer to any air attacks against civilians in no-fly zones would be carefully targeted strikes against the Assad regime’s military assets only. That could provide a real answer that would protect Syrian civilians and hopefully get the peace process back on track.
