I was surprised to get the revised schedule and to be advised just before I came in that the statements that I assumed would be taken today were to be put back to tomorrow. There is a general concern across the country that the appalling events of yesterday should be reflected in statements in this House. Indeed, I hope we will have more than statements and that there will be a formula for action from Government in response to those statements.
