Iraq (Basra Incident)

I add my personal condolences to all the families who lost dear ones, on behalf of myself, my party and the Scottish National party. I was in Basra last year and I picked up much anger and some resentment about the infrastructure that still needed repair, such as sanitation, clean water and electricity. I appreciate the fact that the right hon. Gentleman has only just come into his post, but I urge him to see whether more can be done to reinstate those necessary services.
