The UK has suspended sales of arms to Turkey for items that might be used in the country's military offensive in Syria.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab told MPs on Tuesday: "The UK government takes its arm export control responsibilities very seriously and in this case, of course, we will keep our defence exports to Turkey under very careful and continual review.

"No further export licences to Turkey for items that might be used in military operations in Syria will be granted while we conduct that review."
