Liz Mcinnes MP
Heywood and Middleton MP is to vote against bombing Syria.
Liz Mcinnes said; “This is one of the most difficult issues I have had to vote on since becoming a Member of Parliament.
“After weighing up both sides of the argument, and listening to the views of my constituents, I will be voting against the Prime Minister's motion to authorise airstrikes on Syria.
“I have also put my name to the following amendment which will be moved in the House of Commons this afternoon:
‘While welcoming the renewed impetus towards peace and reconstruction in Syria, and the Government’s recognition that a comprehensive strategy against Daesh is required, does not believe that the case for the UK’s participation in the ongoing air campaign in Syria by 10 countries has been made under current circumstances, and consequently declines to authorise military action in Syria.’
