Business of the House

If the hon. Gentleman will forgive me, I believe that he is being somewhat harsh on the Foreign Office and the work that it did in response to the tsunami. The National Audit Office report is critical of certain aspects, but overall it makes it clear that there was a significant and very effective response on behalf of the United Kingdom. What is important about such reports is that we learn lessons from them, and I assure him that we will do so.
