Lord Ashdown critical of MPs who refused to back motion
Former Liberal Democrat leader Lord Ashdown has been critical of the decision to not take part in military action.
He told the BBC News Channel: "To see my country draw back from a coalition in favour of international law and decide the answer is to stand aside does not fill me with great joy."
Thirty Conservative and nine Liberal Democrat MPs voted against the government motion.
