SNP's Alex Salmond calls on PM to say sorry for 'insulting terrorism remarks'

SNP MP Alex Salmond called for the Prime Minister David Cameron to apologise for labelling those who will vote against military action in Syria " terrorist sympathisers".

In the early part of a special debate on possible Syrian air strikes, the former Nationalist leader said: "The Prime Minister is facing an amendment which was signed by 110 members of this House from six different political parties - I have examined that list very carefully and I cannot identify a single terrorist sympathiser.

"Will he now apologise for his deeply insulting remarks?"

Mr Cameron responded by saying: "I've made it clear this is about how we fight terrorism and the honour is in any vote that honourable members make."
