A Devon MP says Prime Minister Theresa May should be "free to act without a vote in Parliament" as cabinet ministers agree "on the need to take action" in Syria.

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable said the Prime Minister should seek parliamentary approval before using force.

However, Conservative MP for Plymouth Moor View Johnny Mercer said the debate would always be "based on half the picture so you're not actually going to get a true outcome".

"[Theresa May] is going to look at a whole matrix of intelligence that is never going to be presented to the House of Commons.

"I don't agree with no scrutiny whatsoever - that would be foolish - but I do believe that she should have the freedom to act and not be constrained by this convention that we've now got of coming to Parliament."

Transport Minister Jo Johnson has said: "There has been no decision to take military action at this point."
