BASILDON and Billericay MP John Baron was one of 30 Conservative MPs to vote against the Government motion for military action in Syria.
The UK is now unlikely to join America in taking any action against the regime after it allegedly used chemical weapons in Damascus during its ongoing conflict on August 21.
Mr Baron has previously warned that intervention by the West could escalate the conflict
Speaking after the vote, he said: "This has been a good day for Parliament.
"MPs from all sides have deep-seated concerns about military intervention, and too many of our questions remain unanswered.
"It felt as though we were rushing into action, particularly as the UN inspectors had yet to report back."
Mr Baron also referred to the "legacy of Iraq" and said the country's special relationship with the US meant it was in a good position to tell the States when it was "going wrong".
"Questions about the evidence, the legitimacy of taking action without a UN resolution and about the military objectives were not answered," he added.
