I formally join with members in sending deepest sympathy to the people of Venezuela on the tragic death of Hugo Chávez. In the light of the debate we have just had on oil and gas, he did the complete opposite; he used the wealth of his country to better the lot of the poor. I do not think there are many oil oligarchs in Venezuela. I wish to join others in the expression of sympathy to his family and the people of Venezuela
