May we please have a debate or a statement next week on airport security? If it is correct, as has been alleged, that a telex was sent to all the airlines and received by them, the public are entitled to know what was done as a result, and why it is that the awful disaster occurred in which so many people—constituents and friends of hon. Members on both sides of the House—died, probably unnecessarily, because no heed was taken of it? Without a statement, how are we to know what is being done to protect people who will be travelling by air this Easter if future warnings are given and allegedly received?
