(36 minutes later) | |
Parliament is expected to be recalled on Friday to discuss the UK's role in air strikes against Islamic State, the BBC understands | |
There has been no official confirmation but an announcement could come later. | |
It is understood there has been a reluctance to make the announcement while Labour's conference is under way. | |
It is also understood that there will be a formal request from the Iraqi Prime Minister later on Wednesday for the UK to join in air strikes. | |
Labour leader Ed Miliband told BBC Breakfast he was "open to the possibility" of supporting air strikes against Islamic State in Iraq. |
