    No military action in Syria amid army cuts, David Cameron warned

    David Cameron should not be contemplating intervening in Syria's civil war while simultaneously

    cutting thousands of Army jobs, Conservative MPs and retired officers have warned.

    Redundancy notices will be issued to 5,300 Army personnel this week as part of the Coalition's plan

    to reduce the number of soldiers from 102,000 to 82,000 by 2017.

    The job losses will be imposed while the Prime Minister considers whether Britain should arm Syria's rebels.

    Some of Mr Cameron's MPs fear that sending weapons to Syria would be the first step down a path that

    could lead to another British deployment in the Middle East.

    Richard Drax, the MP for South Dorset who is a vocal member of a Tory group that has attacked military

    cuts, said: "Here we are yet again with a Government reducing our Armed Services and at the same time

    talking about military intervention of some sort in Syria.
