The House met at half-past Nine o’clock
Prayers
[Mr Speaker in the Chair]
I beg to move, That the House sit in private. Question put forthwith (Standing Order No. 163) and negatived.
Before we begin today’s proceedings, I know that the whole House will have been horrified to hear the news of yesterday’s crash of an Air India flight from Gujarat to London. On behalf of the House, I express our deep sorrow at this awful tragedy. Many colleagues will have lost constituents and they will be working tirelessly to support those families who have suffered a devasting loss. Our thoughts are with those constituents, their friends and the victims in India, the United Kingdom and around the world. I am expecting Ministers to come to the House on Monday to make a statement and provide an update on the Air India crash, as well as about the events that have happened overnight in the middle east.
