Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 July 2015. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Counter-ISIL Coalition Strategy.


Counter-ISIL Coalition Strategy

I think we should thank the Freedom of Information Act for today’s statement. The Secretary of State really ought to come clean. What specific discussions has he had with Saudi Arabia about what happens to the arms supplied to it? Are any of them leaking through and ending up with ISIL forces or, indeed, any other weapons supplier in the region?

Secondly, what is happening about the oil that is clearly sold from the ISIL area of Syria to someone else and the money that then flows back to support it? How effective is the sanctions regime conducted by the western forces, with the co-operation of other Governments, to stop arms and money flowing to ISIL?
