The prime minister said preparations were already underway for a joint operation led by the UK, France and US.

It follows a UN resolution authorising "all measures necessary" short of sending in ground troops.

Mr Cameron said there was a "clear and unequivocal" legal basis for action, which is being supported by Labour.

A French government spokesmen has said initial air raids on Libyan positions could take place "within a few hours".

The aircraft likely to be deployed are Tornado GR4 ground attack planes, which could bomb tanks, artillery and air defences, and Typhoons, which could be used in air-to-air combat if the Libyan airforce tries to get airborne.
