Proceeding contribution from Chi Onwurah (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 February 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Syria.


Syria

On Friday, I attended a fundraiser in Newcastle at which over £30,000 was raised to provide humanitarian assistance to those terrorised by the regime. Many there expressed real fear about returning to Syria, especially now that they have shown their support for democracy and freedom. Can the Secretary of State assure me that he is working with his colleagues in the Home Office to ensure that no Syrians are forced to return to Syria from the UK at the moment?
