Business of the House

I am sure that the hon. Gentleman will understand why I do not comment on current proceedings before an inquest. However, there has been a thorough and detailed report on the way in which the FCO dealt with the immediate aftermath of the tsunami. It contains some criticisms, which have been acknowledged by my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary, and it is an indication that we must learn lessons and be in a position to anticipate such terrible tragedies in the future. That acknowledgement by my right hon. Friend indicates that we take seriously our responsibilities and that we will learn lessons from that terrible tragedy.
