Syria vote: Where does your MP stand on UK military action against IS?

And it appears MPs in Shropshire and Mid Wales back the Prime Minister by voting for military action.

The majority of our Tory MPs say they favour British forces joining the bombing of Syria. The exception is Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski who says he will make up his mind following a Commons debate on the issue.

He has called for a comprehensive plan for the future of the country so that the mistakes of Iraq are not repeated.

Downing Street today made clear RAF bombing missions against IS – also known as Isil, Isis and Daesh – in Syria are likely to start within days if MPs back military action in a crunch vote.

Jeremy Corbyn's decision on Monday to allow his MPs a free vote looks certain to deliver Mr Cameron the majority for air strikes that he is seeking, with 50 or more Labour MPs expected to join Tories and Ulster unionists in backing action.

But Mr Corbyn insisted "more and more" Labour MPs were becoming sceptical about the proposals, warning: "We are not going to bomb our way to democracy."

In Shropshire and Mid Wales, Wrekin MP Mark Pritchard and Montgomeryshire MP Glyn Davies have already said they will vote for action.

Wrekin MP Mark Pritchard said: "I would ask the Leader of the Opposition to rethink his position. If we don't take on Daesh, more men, women and children - in their hundreds, in their thousands - will continue to be murdered.

"I don't think anyone enters Parliament to make war. Indeed, I would hope everyone in this chamber is a peacemaker. There is enough war and conflict in this world already.

"I pay tribute to the pacifists and peacemakers who sit on the benches opposite and the peacemakers on these benches. Their views are both valid and respectable.

"But unfortunately, Daesh are neither peacemakers nor pacifists. They are a brutal, murderous and genocidal enemy that are killing men, women, children and peacemakers - probably at this very hour, as we speak.

"Whether it is politically or intellectually palatable or not, it is a case, sadly, of kill or be killed."

Philip Dunne, Ludlow MP, said today: "As a defence minister I will be supporting the government in developing the fight against Isil across the Iraq/Syria border to bring a unique British capability to bear so that we can contribute to this coalition effort to defeat Isil who present a clear threat to UK citizens both at home and abroad."

Telford MP Lucy Allan said: "I will be voting in favour of bombing raids in Syria. The prime minister's statement to the house last Thursday comprehensively set out the need for strikes against so-called Islamic State.

"Whilst this is not an easy decision, nor one I take lightly, I feel it is the right course of action for the country to take.

"Every day we find out about new atrocities by IS and the uneasy truth is the only way to defeat them is through direct military confrontation.

"As we witnessed in Paris, IS are actively looking to strike against others outside of Iraq and Syria. Only by extending existing strikes can the UK, with our international partners, hope to defeat this barbaric organisation."

North Shropshire MP Owen Paterson said he would be voting with the government, but added: "What we are lacking is a clear long-term objective. One of the other problems is that post-world war boundaries are no longer valid.

"The more countries that are involved the better. Isil is horrendous and is very hostile towards more civilised countries."

Cabinet unanimously gave its formal approval to tonight's Commons motion, which not only authorises air strikes in Syria but also sets out plans to pursue a political solution to the Middle Eastern country's four-year civil war, commits Britain to humanitarian support and assistance with post-conflict reconstruction and rules out the deployment of UK ground combat troops.

Speaking after a meeting in Number 10, Mr Cameron said: "That motion talks about, yes, the necessity of taking military action against Isil in Syria as well as Iraq, but it is part of a broader strategy.

"It's about politics and diplomacy and humanitarian aid, all of which we need to bring to bear to bring peace to Syria but to make sure we protect our national interest of fighting against this appalling terrorist organisation."

He added: "I will be making the arguments and I hope as many Members of Parliament will support me."
