Military Action Overseas: Parliamentary Approval

Debate between James Heappey and Jeremy Corbyn

Tuesday 17th April 2018 Commons Chamber

[James Heappey (Wells) (Con)]

Will the right hon. Gentleman give way?

[Jeremy Corbyn]

No, not at the moment.

It seems that the convention that was established in 2003 and that is in the Cabinet manual is being tossed aside as simply inconvenient. It is necessary and urgent that the House has the opportunity to discuss its rights and responsibilities in respect of decisions on UK military intervention.
