LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron wants lawmakers to consider the option of Britain joining U.S.-led air strikes against Islamic State militants in Syria, his spokeswoman said on Thursday.

The British government believes a deadly Islamist attack in Tunisia last week, in which 30 Britons were killed, has underlined the threat the militant group poses and that London must think about doing more against IS as a result.
