Arming The Syrian National Coalition Or Any Other Groups In Syria

EDM number 189 in 2013-14, proposed by Andrew Bridgen on 05/06/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Defence equipment and procurement, Middle East and Military operations.

That this House believes that prior to any decision being taken to supply arms to the Syrian National Coalition or any other groups in Syria, a full debate and vote should be held in Parliament and in addition to this, if Parliament is in recess, it should be recalled to facilitate this important debate; notes the division and sensitivity that this issue evokes both with colleagues and the general public; believes that it is a matter that needs to be subjected to full parliamentary scrutiny and debate before the UK potentially becomes further involved in another Middle Eastern conflict; and further notes that in some matters of defence, time does not always allow for parliamentary debate, whilst not however believing this constraint applies to this potential course of action.

This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs.
