Yasmin Qureshi, a Labour MP and member of a foreign affairs delegation across the Middle East, said that she had been given a very different figure of "moderate" forces in Syria than that given by the government.
"We spoke to military people, counterterrorism people and politicians - the answer that we received, is about 10 to 15,000 and that’s the answer given by everyone there."
