Morris calls for Iraq rebuilding pledge
A Black Country MP has called on Theresa May to work with the Iraqi government on the reconstruction of war-torn places such as Mosul.
Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, James Morris asked for assurances that the UK and US is working on the reconstruction of Iraq once Isis is forced out of the country.
Responding to the Tory MP for Halesowen and Rowley Regis, Mrs May said: "In order to keep the streets of Britain safe we must continue to attack Da'esh in Iraq and Syria.
"The RAF Has conducted over 1400 strikes, there are over 500 British soldiers in the ground providing further assistance.
"It's about how we ensure there is sustainable reconstruction and rebuilding afterwards.
"Our troops have helped train over 55,000 Iraqi security personnel...together we must also work not just in Iraq but internationally to ensure the hateful ideology of extremism is not able to poison the minds of people."
