Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 3:31 pm on 2 March 1999.
It has been confirmed that one of my constituents, Mark, a 23-year-old, is one of those who has been killed in this terrible tragedy. I have just spoken to his father, who is devastated by the news. However, he sends his thanks to the Foreign Office for its help throughout the night when the family was kept in touch with events as they developed. The family is looking forward to receiving the body back on Friday, when a proper funeral will take place so they can grieve properly.
