Britain's Fallon says parliament's Syria vote uncertain -Sunday Telegraph

Britain is not certain to hold a parliamentary vote on taking military action against Islamic State forces in Syria, defence minister Michael Fallon said, as it would become "difficult" if opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn orders his MPs to oppose it.

 

Fallon, in an interview published in the Sunday Telegraph, said he hoped lawmakers from all parties would consider the arguments, with Labour deeply split on the issue.

 

Labour leader Corbyn wants his lawmakers to vote against air strikes. But many of his MPs, including some in his top team, are demanding a free vote rather than one in which they are directed to vote against the strikes.
