David Cameron is coming under pressure to explain why RAF personnel, including pilots, have taken part in bombing raids on Islamic State militants in Syria without approval from Parliament.
About 20 UK personnel took part while embedded with US and Canadian forces.
MPs only approved action against IS in Iraq and the SNP's Alex Salmond said the Commons may have been misled.
Number 10 played down the revelations but Labour and the Lib Dems are calling for an explanation in Parliament.
The new Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron told Channel 4 News the involvement of UK personnel appears "at first sight to be a breach of democracy, of parliamentary procedure, and therefore a betrayal of the British people.
"For David Cameron to have sanctioned that, if it is as it appears, that is quite wrong and he will need to answer to the House and to the British people."
I have lots of words for him, but can't write them here. But he's "one of the boys travelling the gravy train" so it won't really matter really will it.
