Business of the House

I have said that the report is important, and that we must learn lessons from what was an overwhelming tragedy not only for the countries affected but for many citizens of this country who were caught up in those terrible events. There is an opportunity next Tuesday, at Foreign Office questions, to begin the process to which the right hon. Gentleman refers, and it is important that we go on learning lessons and subjecting Ministers to proper political accountability.
