MPs to vote prior to military action against Syria in response to Douma attack.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

"We need a clear response to the Syrian chemical outrage. But Parliament must be involved before any military action is agreed.
Specifically the Govt needs to explain who is strengthened if and when Assad is weakened. And what happens after."
