Proceeding contribution from Tony Blair (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on London Attacks.


London Attacks

The hon. Lady is right. The books of condolence are there, and I hope that as many people as can get to sign them will do so. She is right, too, that the whole staff of the underground and the services—the hospital services and so on—have performed magnificently. I had an opportunity of meeting some of them on Friday, and they were remarkably strong about their experience. It is not just the emergency services that came on the scene—obviously, there are people at hospitals and elsewhere who are having to cope with an extremely difficult situation, and of course there are the people still engaged in the forensic work, and a very harrowing and difficult time it must be for them.
