'Wrong for this Parliament to remove that power' - DUPpublished at 15:08 British Summer Time 17 April 2018
Military action emergency debate
House of Commons
Parliament
DUP Westminster Leader Gavin Robinson says the responsibility of the air strikes rests with those in the government, to defend the UK and "international standards that this House agrees".
He says it would be "wrong for this Parliament to remove that power" of government to launch strikes at short notice.
He says whenever the UK took action in Kosovo and Bosnia, Jeremy Corbyn was against such interventions.
He says the debate today is not for noble causes, but to "frustrate the ability" of the government to make such military decisions.
