Home Office written question – answered at on 9 March 2016.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate her Department has made of the number of (a) men, (b) women and (c) children who have travelled to those parts of Syria and Iraq which are controlled by Daesh in each of the last two years.
We believe approximately 800 UK linked individuals of national security concern have travelled to take part in the Syrian conflict since it began. Of those who are known to have travelled, about half have returned. This number will include men, women, and some individuals who were under 18 at the point of travel.
