The UK should adopt a process similar to that in the US where the President can deploy troops and even initiate "emergency" actions, but must obtain Congressional approval for his actions within 30 days, or else withdraw all troops within a further 60.
Parliament is a legislative body, which makes laws, and should have no part in deciding whether or not we go to war.
Parliament voting to go to war only makes sense if it is a secret ballot, so that party leaders can't penalise people who don't vote the way they want.

In Leeds, which is close to my constituency, the increase has been 29 per cent.

 House of Commons Hansard Debates for 27 Jul 1999 (pt 15)
The strange fact is that, in my constituency of West Dorset in the town of Sherbourne, almost identical events transpired, and one of my constituents woke up one fine morning to discover that an entirely innocuous shop was about to be turned into a funeral parlour.
As it happens, my constituent passed her days pleasantly sunning herself in her front garden and did not wish--if I may be forgiven the phrase by the House--to see a procession of stiffs passing her front garden.
I am a profound proponent and supporter of the order in general and there is a desperate need to allow businesses to be flexible and change their premises and for different kinds of businesses to emerge on our high streets, but funeral parlours are not quite like all other forms of shop.

 Clitheroe, University of Bradford
But Clitheroe, unlike many of the textile towns of 19th century Lancashire, was to lose rather than gain rights during the course of the 19th century.
The Reform Act of 1832 deprived the restricted area of the borough of the right to return two members to parliament, increasing the constituency boundaries to take in a wider area; and in 1885 the constituency was completely reorganised under the Re-Distribution Act.
Consequently Clitheroe has retained the appearance of a country town, containing vernacular buildings among the 19th century ones, and retaining much of its earlier street pattern.
