Prime Minister's question asked in the House of Commons, by Ian Gibson (Labour). It was answered by Tony Blair (Labour) on Wednesday, 6 December 2006 on behalf of the Prime Minister.

Engagements

Question: If he will list his official engagements for Wednesday 6 December.

Answer: Before I list my engagements, I am sure that the whole House will join me in sending our condolences to the family and friends of the Royal Marine from 45 Commando who was killed in Afghanistan yesterday. As I saw when I met the troops there some days ago, he was doing an extraordinary job and we can be very proud of him. In addition, I am sure that the whole House will join me in paying tribute to the two members of the East Sussex fire and rescue service, Brian Wembridge and Geoff Wicker, who were killed tackling the fire near Lewes on Sunday. They died protecting their community, and our thoughts and prayers are with their families at this time. This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in the House, I will have further such meetings later today.
