ISIL: Iraq and Syria

Proceeding contribution from Lord Moynihan (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 16 October 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on ISIL: Iraq and Syria.

My Lords, I very much welcome the Statement and the timely initiative by the Foreign Secretary. I particularly welcome the comments that the Minister has made about the critical role of Turkey. There is one aspect of domestic policy that is noted in the Statement: the Foreign Secretary has said that,

“we are seeking to strengthen the powers of the Charity Commission to counter terrorist abuse of the charity sector”.

Given that such action would already be illegal, will the Minister undertake to ensure that in due course the House is briefed on how this will be achieved?
