Ulster Unionist MPs, Tom Elliott and Danny Kinahan, have issued a joint statement following tonight`s vote in the House of Commons.
"The vote has been taken and we must all coalesce around the will of Parliament.
"A wide-ranging strategy has been decided on, which includes air strikes against Daesh in Syria. We have a collective duty to unite behind our brave service men and women who will be flying sorties over Syria, potentially within hours.
"Commanding our men and women to intervene where they could potentially be killed or injured is one of the gravest decisions that Parliament can take. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and all our Armed Forces.
"We ask everyone to remember we did not seek this fight, but we cannot walk away from taking a stand against the slaughter of the innocent that is the tactic of those who attack us and despise our way of life."
