Syria

Mr. George Osborne
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on UK-Syria relations. [110409]

Mr. Mike O'Brien
The UK remains committed to a policy of constructive and, where necessary, critical engagement with Syria. This allows us to support reform while maintaining a robust dialogue on issues of concern including her attitude to Iraq, support for certain Palestinian rejectionist groups, WMD and human rights.
