DWYFOR Meirionnydd MP Liz Saville Roberts has told the Cambrian News she will be voting against air strikes in Syria in Parliament today.

MPs will decide later whether to back UK air strikes in Syria against militants from so-called Islamic State.

A 10-hour House of Commons debate will culminate in a vote on whether the UK should join the US, France, Russia and others bombing targets in Raqqa, the group’s stronghold, and other areas.

Plaid Cymru’s Mrs Saville Roberts said she will be voting against the strikes today.

She said: “I’d like to confirm I’ll be voting against military strikes in Syria in Parliament today.

“The Prime Minister has failed to argue a compelling case for UK intervention in Syria.

“We believe that military action by the UK would threaten to further destabilise Syria and the region whilst undermining our security at home.

“Thanks to all constituents who contacted me on this grave issue.”

With up to 50 Labour MPs likely to back the government after their leader Jeremy Corbyn allowed them to have a free vote amid divisions within his own ranks, it is expected Mr Cameron will win parliamentary approval for the UK to intervene militarily in the four-year conflict in Syria.

He debate is due to begin at 11.30am today with a vote expected at around 10pm.
