PM resists calls from MPs for Commons vote over military action following ‘limited strikes’ against Houthis
Rishi Sunak has come under pressure to provide clarity on Britain’s long-term strategy in the Red Sea as he resisted calls for MPs to be given a vote, insisting the new airstrikes against the Houthis on Monday night were carried out in self-defence.
The prime minister told parliament that Britain’s actions, taken with the US, were backed up by legal advice from the attorney general that the government would publish on Tuesday.
