Proceeding contribution from Michael Meacher (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 July 2015. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Counter-ISIL Coalition Strategy.
Counter-ISIL Coalition Strategy
Given the explicit parliamentary prohibition against British military action in Syria, is it not irrelevant whether or not British aircrews are embedded in US forces? In view of the gravity of this secret deployment—a possible mission creep towards war without a mandate—does the Secretary of State not recognise that the system of ministerial accountability to this House behoves him not just to apologise, but to consider whether his position is still tenable?
