Summer Recess Adjournment

No, it is an expression of the solidarity of the pre-recess Adjournment debate more than anything else. Let me deal with the serious comments made by the hon. Member for The Wrekin (Mark Pritchard)—[Interruption.] He is over there. People have moved around; it is very confusing. I join him in paying tribute to all the men and women in our armed forces serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, and I pass on our condolences to the families of those who have been lost—another serviceman has been lost today. I am sure that other hon. Members know that this is also a question of providing support and solidarity for the families of those who have been injured. I have a constituent whose son was terribly injured by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, and that is a loss for the family, too.
