英国议会的一个重要委员会星期二发表报告说，除非卡梅伦首相的政府就一系列有关法律、政治和军事风险的问题做出答复，否则议会就不支持把空袭行动扩大到叙利亚。
英国一直参与美国领导的针对伊拉克境内伊斯兰国激进分子的空袭，但卡梅伦没有获得足够的支持，因此不能派战机在叙利亚采取同样的行动。
英国议会下院外交委员会强调，必须将重点放在寻求以政治方式解决叙利亚危机，并表示英国进行空袭可能不利于这一努力，并会损害英国主张进行谈判的立场。
2013年，英国议会曾否决政府有关在叙利亚境内发动空袭的提案。英国下院外交委员会星期二发表的报告说，政府要在空袭叙利亚境内目标，必须首先对七个问题做出答复。
卡梅伦7月接受美国电视台”与媒体见面”采访时说，英国致力于打垮伊拉克和叙利亚境内的激进分子，但在得不到本国议会支持的情况下，不能将空袭行动扩展的叙利亚。
A key committee in Britain's parliament issued a report Tuesday saying lawmakers will not support expanding airstrikes into Syria unless Prime Minister David Cameron's government answers a number of questions about the legal, political and military risks.
Britain has been a part of the U.S.-led coalition conducting airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq, but Cameron has failed to gain enough support to send forces to Syria on the same mission.
The Commons Foreign Affairs Committee highlighted the need to focus on finding a political solution to Syria's crisis and said British airstrikes could both hurt that effort and the country's standing in possible negotiations.
In 2013, British lawmakers rejected the government's proposal to launch airstrikes in Syria, and Tuesday's report recommends it not try again without answering a total of seven questions. Those include identifying what ground troops would seize and hold any territory captured from Islamic State militants.
Cameron said during a July interview with NBC's Meet The Press that Britain was committed to defeating the militants in both Iraq and Syria, but would not expand into Syria without the backing of parliament.
