REPORTS: LABOUR TO GET 'FREE VOTE' ON SYRIA AIR STRIKES

It's reported that the leader of the UK's opposition Labour Party is to grant his MPs a free vote on whether Britain should extend air strikes into Syria.

Prime Minister David Cameron wants to hold a vote in parliament on bombing Islamic State positions in Syria - the UK is currently only involved in air strikes in Iraq.

He's understood to be now offering a free vote, but has asked David Cameron to hold an extended two-day debate on the issue in the House of Commons.
