Business question from Paul Rowen (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 December 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The Leader of the House may be aware of the inquest into the deaths of 91 victims of the Asian tsunami. However, the inquest is not considering the support given by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to the UK victims. One statement by the Permanent Secretary has caused great offence and upset. He claimed that the support given ““exceeded our expectations””. As one who was caught up in the tsunami, I can say that what support was given was at best ineffectual and at worst inept. May we have a debate on that topic?
