The Government's watered-down motion on the principle of military intervention in Syria was defeated tonight by 13 votes.
9 Lib Dems rebelled, along with 30 Conservatives. Embarrassingly, two Government Ministers - Justine Greening and Mark Simmonds - accidentally failed to vote because they apparently either didn't hear the bell or were in a meeting, while Ken Clarke couldn't attend due to "logistical family reasons".
The 30 Conservative rebels are as follows:
David Amess
Steve Baker
Richard Bacon
John Baron
Andrew Bingham
Crispin Blunt
Fiona Bruce
Tracey Crouch
David TC Davies
Philip Davies
David Davis
Nick de Bois
Richard Drax
Gordon Henderson
Philip Hollobone
Adam Holloway
Dr Phillip Lee
Dr Julian Lewis
Jason McCartney
Stephen McPartland
Nigel Mills
Anne Marie Morris
Andrew Percy
Sir Richard Shepherd
Sir Peter Tapsell
Andrew Turner
Martin Vickers
Charles Walker
Chris White
Dr Sarah Wollaston
[**UPDATE** This list was originally published including Tim Loughton - rather than rebelling, he voted in the Aye and the No lobbies in order to formally register an abstention.]
There'll be more analysis from us in the morning - for now, a lot to consider in an historic defeat inflicted on the Prime Minister by his own MPs.
