The 'absolute horror' of chemical weapons were 'laid bare' - SNPpublished at 22:46 British Summer Time 16 April 2018
Syria emergency debate
House of Commons
Parliament

SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford says that the "absolute horror" of chemical weapons and warfare were "laid bare".
No MPs could have been unmoved by the pictures of children in Syria being attacked in such a way, he states.
He asks the prime minister to condemn the "thoughtless" tweets sent out by the US President in relation to airstrikes on Syria before they took place.
It is regrettable that the House of Commons has not been able to fully debate the situation in Syria in three hours, he says - and he adds that the SNP will seek to divide the House when it comes to vote later on so that Syria can be debated further.
He says that the UK owes it to the people of Syria to work on bringing an end to the crisis in Syria and efforts must be made to restart peace talks in Geneva.
