Subsequent exchanges in the House included this:
David Cameron was immediately challenged by the Labour leader Ed Miliband, to confirm that he would not bypass the will of the Commons by using his powers as prime minister to commit UK forces without a further vote. Mr Cameron told him, flatly, ‘I can give that assurance … It is very clear tonight that, while the house has not passed a motion, the British parliament, reflecting the views of the British people, does not want to see British military action. I get that, and the government will act accordingly.’ The vote had been forced by a backbench debate in the Commons on 11 July, which ended with a 114 to 1 vote approving a resolution requiring that ‘no lethal support should be provided to anti-government forces in Syria without the explicit prior consent of parliament’. So, when evidence emerged that sarin gas was being used by the Assad regime against the rebels in Syria, David Cameron recalled parliament.
