MPs should not be "bounced" into a decision on air strikes against Islamic State terrorists in Syria and proper warning and time should be allocated before any vote, the Commons has heard.

Shadow Commons leader Chris Bryant, SNP frontbench spokesman Pete Wishart and Tory backbencher Peter Bone (Wellingborough) all stressed the need for extensive debate and advance notice before any such vote.

Commons Leader Chris Grayling stressed that David Cameron needs time to take on board the questions he received from 103 backbenchers during his statement today before deciding on a further course of action.

Ministers have repeatedly said they will not put a vote to MPs before they are convinced it will pass through the Commons.

Mr Grayling said he would make a supplementary business statement if a decision is taken in the next two weeks.

During the business statement, he told MPs: "It's right and proper for the Prime Minister to go away and digest the comments from the House this morning before deciding what further action to take and also to give the Foreign Affairs Select Committee a moment to take a look as well at the response that has been given.

"We will of course come back to this House shortly and the Prime Minister will undoubtedly make clear his intentions in the very near future.

"If it should intrude in the next couple of weeks, business should take place within the next couple of weeks, I will obviously come back and make a further statement to the House."

Mr Bryant insisted that it would be "inappropriate" for the Government to hide its intentions from MPs and stressed that proper time must be allocated so backbenchers can make full contributions.

He said: "It would be absolutely wrong for the Government to try and bounce the House into a decision.

"You have announced next week's business but to be honest I thought I heard the Prime Minister earlier saying that he wanted a vote, a debate and a vote as soon as possible and before he was going to visit the Foreign Affairs Committee.

"I can only presume that that means next week.

"I just hope that you are going to take on board that the House needs proper notice when we are going to have debates and votes of that kind and it would be inappropriate to hide that from the House.

"Secondly that we need - as we've already seen 103 spoke in this (statement) - maybe 103 people will want to speak in a debate so we need to have proper time so that people aren't just making two minute speeches at the end of the day on a matter that really matters to our constituents.

"And a final thing in relation to this - I just hope that the Government will table a motion in plenty of time for members to be able to consider it and consider any kind of amendments they want to table in full time for them not to be manuscript amendments considered on the day."

Mr Wishart called for two days of debate.

He said: "We need to see firm proposals about when this will be brought to the House particularly as 103 members spoke in the statement and we have to find sufficient time where not just two or three minutes is awarded to backbenchers of the House, but proper time is allocated to MPs in order to bring forward the very serious concerns they may have over the proposed military action."

Mr Bone said the debate should be allowed to go on through the night if necessary.

He said: "Syria is such an important issue and we do need to debate it fully so when you come to this House with a change in the business programme may I suggest that we debate Syria with no limit on when the closure comes? So that if necessary we can speak through the night before voting and then everyone can get in."
