UK government motion on Syria intervention defeated in parliament

UK government motion on Syria intervention has been rejected by a 285 to 272 margin after British lawmakers rejected an opposition Labour amendment calling for more information about the deployment of chemical weapons in Syria.

 The Labor amendment was defeated Thursday by 332 votes to 220, with a government majority of 112. “A number of Tories in the no lobby with Labour,” wrote Labor MP Jon Trickett.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has asserted that such action would put a halt to human rights atrocities in Syria, while Labor party MPs said they required more evidence
