London Attacks

A few moments ago the Prime Minister gave great and well deserved praise to the emergency services. Does he agree that we also need to recognise the many ordinary staff on the London Underground who are not emergency workers and who, on Thursday last, before the emergency services could come, put themselves directly in danger to give immediate assistance to those who were caught in the carnage, and dealt with horrors that most of us in the Chamber will never see and hope never to see? Will he join me in congratulating London Resilience, which did so much of the planning that meant that the response was so effective and helped to reinforce the calm and composure of Londoners? Will he let the House know that there are books of condolence open at city hall, which many hon. Members and others may wish to sign?
