London Attacks

Is the Prime Minister aware that it seems that a significant number of people who lost their lives last Thursday came from Islington or worked there, as the tube line runs through the borough, as does the No. 30 bus route? Everyone in the borough condemns what happened. My hon. Friend the Member for Islington, South and Finsbury (Ms Thornberry) and I spent part of the weekend at the Muslim Welfare House in Finsbury Park, where there was complete condemnation of everything that happened, and full support for the police in trying to find the perpetrators of this outrage. Will my right hon. Friend be cautious about the introduction of further anti-terrorist legislation that might reduce co-operation between the many communities in London and the Metropolitan police, because that co-operation is important in isolating and catching the people who perpetrated carnage on the streets of London? Does he endorse the points made by the Mayor about the need for understanding the multicultural nature of London’s life and, indeed, the multicultural nature of the victims of the terrible atrocity last Thursday?
