Glasgow MPs took part in the questioning session with Prime Minister Theresa May after the air strikes on Syria.

Here are their concerns about the UK Government action and their contributions in the House of Commons.

Stewart McDonald, Glasgow South MP and SNP Defence Spokesman, asked about Russian retaliation and questioned the future credibility of the United Nations security council.

Glasgow Times:

He said: “Did the prospect of a retaliation of a cyber nature from the Government of Russia feature in the Prime Minister’s calculation?”

He added: The Prime Minister had no real easy options in making this consideration, but given that members of the Security Council are now acting outwith the norms that she says she has acted to defend—ultimately, if the veto is dead for Moscow, it is dead for London—how exactly does she plan to restore order and reform the Security Council?”

Ms May said: “We always remain on the alert for any such attacks, and we continue to enhance our capability to deal with them.”

Paul Sweeney, Labour Glasgow North East MP, called for an “internationally policed no fly zone" over Syria to stop the regime bombing its own population.

Glasgow Times:

He said: “There is a stark contrast between the situation in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and Assad’s untrammelled power to bomb his civilians.”

He also said the chemical attack was a “war crime” but questioned the Prime Ministers decision to act without parliamentary approval.

Mr Sweeney, said: “All right-thinking Members of this House will utterly abhor the atrocious use of chemical weapons against the civilian population of Syria, which constitutes a gratuitous war crime upon that population.

“But the Prime Minister said there was an immediate need to act—contravening the normal practice of consulting Parliament prior to any military action overseas—due to the immediate need to alleviate further humanitarian disasters in Syria.

“Was that based on a specific intelligence report that there was an imminent risk of further chemical weapons attacks in Syria?”

Ms May replied: “There has been clear evidence of a continuing use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime in Syria.”

Alison Thewliss, SNP Glasgow Central MP, questioned the cost of the bombing operation and asked about building peace.

Glasgow Times:

She said: “For this action alone, eight Storm Shadow missiles cost £6.32 million. Deploying an RAF Tornado GR4 reportedly costs £35,000 per plane per hour. How much money is the Prime Minister willing to invest in winning the peace in Syria and rebuilding?”

Ms May replied: “We have also provided nearly £2.5 billion of humanitarian support for the refugees from Syria.”

Chris Stephens, SNP Glasgow South West MP, asked if the Government was rejecting a key recommendation of the Chilcott Report into the Iraq war.

Glasgow Times:

He said: “Obviously, this is the first major military action since the publication of the Chilcot report, which recommended the need for public support and public understanding, and for sound legal advice.

“Given that Parliament was not recalled and legal advice was published after the fact, is it the Government’s position that they reject those Chilcot recommendations?”

Ms May replied: “The Government were clear in their response to the Chilcot recommendations and I suggest the honourable gentleman looks at the response we provided.”
