The Government is committed to the convention that has developed that, before troops are committed to conflict, the House of Commons should have an opportunity to debate the matter except when there was an emergency and such action would not be appropriate.<\/p>

<\/p>

That convention has been recorded in the Cabinet Manual. The Government\u2019s commitment to it has been demonstrated by the decision to request the recall of Parliament on 26 September 2014 to debate the UK supporting the Iraqi and coalition military campaign against ISIL in Iraq, including the use of UK air strikes.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is committed to the existing constitutional arrangement, which provides an effective framework by which to engage Parliament in conflict decisions. However, the Prime Minister has made clear that he would act immediately and explain to Parliament afterwards if there were ever a need to do so, such as if a critical British national interest was at stake or if there was a need to act to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1816", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Wallace of Saltaire"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-03-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-03-26T13:16:52Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "53"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-03-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Armed Conflict: Syria"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government whether fresh Parliamentary approval would be needed for the United Kingdom to take any military action against ISIS inside Syria.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1854", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Marlesford"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Marlesford"} ], "uin" : "HL5896"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/228722", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/228722/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government has extended the length of the electoral timetable for UK Parliamentary elections from 17 working days to 25 working days and removed the restriction on issuing postal votes prior to the eleventh working day before the day of the poll. Combined, these steps will allow Armed Forces personnel posted overseas more time to receive, complete and return their postal ballot packs in time for their vote to be counted.<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, the Government recently announced funding of an additional £9.8 million to maximise electoral registration. A proportion of this funding has been allocated to encouraging Armed Forces personnel to register to vote. The Government is also providing pre-paid envelopes for Armed Forces personnel based overseas to return their postal votes.<\/p>
