Speaking on the Andrew Marr show on BBC One, Philip Hammond said the UK "demand that Assad allows in the UN team to investigate the use of chemical weapons. Once we have got the evidence we will present it to our allies and partners."

He added that the UK and the US were alarmed by "limited but persuasive evidence" of their possible use.
