David Cameron is to set out his plan for tackling the crisis in Syria within days, in a bid to win support for air strikes against Islamic State fighters.
It comes after a Foreign Affairs Committee report said the UK should not join allied bombing in Syria without a coherent international strategy on IS. The government has said it will only call a vote when it is sure to win.
The SNP said it would not back action without clear UN legal authority, while Labour MPs are divided on the issue.
IS has claimed responsibility for the Paris terror attacks, as well as recent attacks in Tunisia, Egypt, Beirut and Turkey among others.
The prime minister will appear in the House of Commons in the coming week.
