8. Priekšsēdētāja paziņojums

  President. Honourable Members, in the last hour, reports have reached me of what now appears to be a coordinated series of attacks on London’s transport system. Explosions have been detonated on three buses and at four tube stations. Deaths have already been confirmed, and many people have suffered terrible injuries. I do not yet have any specific figures, but we may have to deal with many deaths. Reports of attacks are continuing, and they arrive every few minutes.

On behalf of Parliament I want to express our condolences to all those who are suffering the consequences of these barbaric acts. As President of Parliament and a citizen of a country that experienced only last year the horror of this kind of multiple attack, I want to send, on behalf of us all, a message of solidarity to the British people. We all stand with you today. We will never let the atrocities of terrorism defeat the values of peace and democracy in Europe.

I ask you now to observe a Minute’s silence.

(The House rose and observed a minute’s silence)
