Mr Miliband [Labor Party Leader] said:  ‘There having been no motion  passed by this House tonight, can the Prime Minister confirm to the House that  he will not use the Royal prerogative to order the UK to be part of military  action, given the will of the House that has been expressed tonight, before  there has been another vote in this House of Commons? “

Mr Cameron [British Prime Minister} replied: ‘I can  give that assurance. Let me say the House has not voted for either motion  tonight. I strongly believe in the need for a tough response to the use of  chemical weapons. But I also believe in respecting the will of this House of  Commons.
‘It is very clear tonight  that while the House has not passed a motion it is clear to me that the British  Parliament, reflecting the views of the British people, does not want to see  British military action. I get that and the Government will act  accordingly.’ (link)
