Proceeding contribution from Cheryl Gillan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 August 2013. It occurred during Debate on Syria and the Use of Chemical Weapons.


Syria and the Use of Chemical Weapons

The Deputy Prime Minister knows of the concerns that there is an incongruity in the way in which the motion has been drafted. Will he once again repeat for the sake of the House and for Members who would like to support the Government tonight that the vote will not be used as a fig leaf to cover any sort of UK military intervention? We need that assurance—that there will be another vote—and we need it from the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister in order to support the Government tonight.
