May I just thank you for that, Mr Deputy Speaker, and thank the Leader of the House for his statement? Our thoughts and prayers are with the police officer. I thank the police, all the security services and all the staff for looking after us so well.

I am grateful to the hon. Lady. I think that those sentiments will be shared without reservation in all parts of the House.
