Rifkind and Royall discuss Syria vote

Ahead of Wednesday's debate on air strikes in Syria, former foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind and former leader of the House of Lords, Baroness Royall, discuss the government's case.

Sir Malcolm said there was no "conceivable" argument for bombing so-called Islamic State in Iraq and not in Syria.

Baroness Royall also discussed intimidation of Labour MPs over the vote, saying she knew some members were worried about de-selection.
