Order. Questions to the Prime Minister? Mr. Marks, Joan.

Question number one, please, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Mr. Speaker, today marks two years since the terror attack on the Finsbury Park Mosque.

It was a truly cowardly and depraved attack that was intended to divide

us. Instead, London remained united. And it is London's diverse communities that make London the world's

greatest capital city.

Mr. Speaker, in recent days and weeks we've seen flooding across the country, which has been

particularly severe in Lincolnshire. I know the whole House will want to join me in paying

tribute to the work of the emergency services, our military, the Environment Agency, and all

those who have been working on the ground to support the communities affected. The government

stands ready to respond and offer all assistance where required.

Mr Speaker, this morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others.

In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

Marcus Joan.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I would like to associate myself and the whole House with the comments the Prime Minister has made about the Finsbury Park Mosque attack and the flooding in Lincolnshire.

Mr Speaker, if our town centres are to survive and thrive, we need more people living in them, more people working in them and more

people spending their leisure time in them.

I welcome the Future High Streets Fund and would commend to my right honourable friend the

Prime Minister the bid that's been put in the important bid from the Neaton and would

ask her if she could speak to her ministers to

look on that bid very favourably.
