Vote on UK airstrikes in Syria to take place on Wednesday

A Commons debate and vote on whether to launch UK airstrikes against Islamic State in Syria will take place on Wednesday, David Cameron has said.

It comes after Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn offered his MPs a free vote on the PM’s proposal to begin strikes.

Mr Corbyn opposes the strikes but has decided not to force his MPs to also vote against the proposal.
