Prime minister dodges question about whether RAF will engage in "prolonged" military action.
Tory minister Huw Merriman insisted the pair were informed in advance.
The joint operation is the latest response to the Iranian-backed Houthis' campaign against Red Sea shipping.

Prime minister warned the action against Houthi targets risks "setting the region alight".
Rishi Sunak said the military action was "limited, necessary and proportionate".
The Houthis are an evil group which grows stronger with every condemnation we make of their opposition – it is not in our character to appease such a threat
