Syria arms: Parliament would get vote, Hague pledges
Parliament would get to vote before the UK sent any arms to Syrian opposition forces, William Hague has said.
More than 80 Conservative MPs have written to David Cameron urging Parliament to be consulted if the UK decides to provide any weapons.
The foreign secretary told the BBC that while there was no established procedure for such a situation, there "will be a vote one way or another".
He also suggested MPs could be recalled if they were in recess at the time.
