The Prime Minister
The Government made their assessments. Those were not just the view of the UK Government; they were shared by our allies and on that basis we acted.
Antoinette Sandbach (Eddisbury) (Con)
I support my right hon. Friend’s decisive action this weekend. Were we waiting for war crimes prosecutions to take place, we would still be waiting for prosecutions dating back to the events she described that took place in 2013. I urge her to collect evidence relating to war crimes, but if this position arises again may I urge her to act as she did this weekend?
The Prime Minister
We will always act in the national interest and there should be no doubt about our resolve in ensuring that we return to the international norm of the prohibition on the use of chemical weapons.
