Before moving on to Leaders' Questions I wish to extend on your behalf deepest sympathy to our fellow parliamentarians in Japan, the members of the Diet, and the Japanese people for the pain and destruction caused as a consequence of the catastrophic earthquake and resultant tsunami on the scale unimagined. The resilience of the Japanese people is renowned but hopefully the good wishes of a small nation may be of some support in their hour of need.
