Ukraine, Middle East, North Africa and Security

First, I do not think it is under contemplation that there would be airstrikes against Iraq. If there were airstrikes, they would be against

ISIL. We have made it clear on many occasions that we would reach a judgment on the basis of any motion brought before the House. That was the position that we took in relation to Libya a couple of years ago and in relation to the vote on chemical weapons in Syria in the House a year ago in August. It is for the Government to set out their thinking and for the Opposition to reach a judgment.
