<p>As I said during my oral statement on Syria: Refugees and Counter-Terrorism on
7 September 2015, <em>Official Report</em>, column 23, these individuals presented
a clear and present danger to the country and this action was taken because there
was no alternative. The Attorney General was consulted and was clear there was a legal
basis for this action in international law. Our Permanent Representative has informed
the President of the United Nations Security Council of this activity, which was conducted
in the self-defence of the UK.</p>
