David Cameron is facing calls from some Conservative MPs to leave open the option of British air strikes on Islamic State forces in Syria.

Mr Cameron has deliberately restricted Britain's involvement to Iraq in part to secure the support of Labour, which has raised concerns about extending air raids into Syria without specific authorisation of the United Nations Security Council.
