Cameron says he will consider putting a line about the need for him to regularly update MPs on Syria in any motion being put to the Commons for a vote.
Cameron says the RAPTOR pod, a high-power surveillance camera, is so powerful that it is said a plane using one could hover over the Isle of Wight and read the hands on the clock of Big Ben.
Andrew Percy, a Conservative, says that he did not support Cameron when MPs voted in Syria in the past, but that he will support him now.
Brendan O’Hara, the SNP defence spokesman, says Cameron claims that Britain can make a unique contribution because it has the Brimstone missile. But haven’t the Saudis got one too?
Cameron says it is a very effective weapon. He does not answer the point about Saudi Arabia.
John Glen, a Conservative, says he welcomes Cameron’s plans. But can Cameron assure him Britain will not pull out if this takes longer than expected.
Cameron says he knows there is not a quick and easy solution. “This whole process is going to take a long time,” he says.
Labour’s Sir Keir Starmer asks if Britain’s allies agree that the 70,000 moderate Syrian fighters are the right people to take Isis territory. Cameron says they do agree about this.
Cameron says he would not back military action if he thought it would derail the political process.
