  The Prime Minister has just made a statement. part of what he said is below and is not verbatim.
  
  """""After advice from the Attorney General, the Government is satisfied there is a legal base for the deployment of UK forces. The Cabinet agreed that UK forces will play their part to enforce the Resolution. The Chief of the Defence staff has been instructed to make the necessary military preparations, including sending Tornadoes, Typhoons and surveillance aircraft to the region. Those preparations have already started.
  
  There will be a substantive motion for debate in the Commons next week. but we need to move forward immediately on the basis of the UN Resolution.
  
  We call on Gaddafi to cease the violence against his own people and we will issue a clear statement of what we expect from him later today."""""
  
  This is good.
  
  It seems all the right steps are being made including a clear statement of how this can end so Gadaffi and, perhaps more importantly, those around him, know what they have to do.
