On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. One of the two British soldiers killed in a roadside bomb attack near Basra on Saturday was 19-year-old Adam Morris, a private in the 2nd Battalion the Royal Anglian Regiment and a resident of Coalville in North-West Leicestershire. The thoughts of the House and of everyone in the local community will be with his family at this dreadful time. Mr. Speaker, have you had any intimation that the Secretary of State for Defence will make a statement on this matter, either today or tomorrow, to allow us to ask questions about it? The alternative means of obtaining that information—written questions and debates—represent a more protracted and less satisfactory process.

The whole House appreciates what the hon. Gentleman has just said, and our hearts go out to the families of those soldiers. We appreciate the hard work that is done by every serviceman and woman in foreign lands. This is not a matter for me; it is a matter for the Minister concerned. However, the hon. Gentleman has put the matter on the record, and I thank him for that.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. In the Home Secretary's answer to my hon. Friend Michael Gove, he stated that, following a question that I posed to him on his statement last week about whether one of the London bombers had been under surveillance for months or years, I had misled the newspapers over the weekend. He said that he had confirmed to me afterwards, outside the Chamber, that the man was not under surveillance. My recollection of that meeting, outside the Chamber and in front of the Home Secretary's officials, was that—

Order. I must interrupt the hon. Gentleman. I let Question Time run over for two minutes, and I will not let it run any further. He seems to be trying to extend it.
