Ministerial correction made by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Conservative) on Monday, 7 October 2019, in the House of Lords on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Iraq: Yazidis
It has not proved possible to respond to this question in the time available before Prorogation. Ministers will correspond directly with the Member.
We have received the letter that you sent regarding the allegations made by Clarion Project, and will be responding shortly. We remain deeply concerned by the situation faced by Yazidi women who were abducted and enslaved by Daesh in Iraq and Syria. The UN calculates that up to 3,000 Yazidi women are still missing, mostly in Iraq. The UK continues to support efforts to reunite families with their loved ones. I discussed the need for justice and support for Yazidi women and other victims of Daesh's crimes with Iraqi Foreign Minister, Mohamed Al-Hakim, on 25 June.
