20 total sponsorsTabled

Motion Text

That this House is deeply concerned about the military confrontation between the United States, Israel, and Iran; supports diplomatic efforts to maintain a ceasefire; acknowledges the deployment of UK combat aircraft and naval assets to the region; and notes that whilst there is no requirement for parliamentary approval to a decision to commit Britain to military support or action, there are precedents for doing so and, therefore, urges the Government not to undertake, support or facilitate any military action against Iranian territory or forces without debate and a vote in this House.
