Proceeding contribution from Margaret Ferrier (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 April 2017. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Syria and North Korea.

Syria and North Korea

I hear what the Secretary of State is saying, but a new report from Human Rights Watch suggests that US forces last month failed to properly confirm targets before launching a missile strike in Aleppo, killing dozens of civilians, including lots of children. They even destroyed a building that it has been established was a mosque. As the UK Government cheerlead yet more US airstrikes in Syria, what steps will he take to avoid yet more civilian deaths in Syria?
