- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their current estimate of the number of British citizens who have been killed while fighting for ISIL and other terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq; and whether they will publish a list of names, ages, gender and town of last residence in the United Kingdom of those thought to have died.
- Answer
-
We have no Embassy in Syria and are not routinely informed of the deaths of British nationals in the country. The difficulty of collecting information in a conflict zone, in particular when individuals have often deliberately chosen to disguise their intentions and their identity, means that the Government has no means of reliably assembling this information.
