Questions to the Prime Minister?

Michelle Donovan.

Question one, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The House will be aware of the dreadful accident that occurred at Didcot Power Station yesterday afternoon,

in which one died and three are missing.

I know the whole House will join me in sending our condolences to the family and friends of the victim

and our best wishes to those who are still missing or were injured.

I also want to pay tribute to the quick and incredibly brave actions of our emergency services

who dealt with the incident with typical professionalism.

The Health and Safety Executive will carry out a full investigation to find out what led to this tragedy.

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

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

Michelle Donovan.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I'd just like to associate myself and the people of Wiltshire with the Prime Minister's

sentiments on today's occurrence in Dickcott.

Wiltshire has successfully integrated a number of Syrian refugees already, including babies and children that otherwise might have frozen or starved to death in the camps.

However, there has been a serious delay by the Home Office, despite Wiltshire Council's claims to have tried to have introduced more into the area.

I would like the Prime Minister to tell us what more can he do on this matter?

Can he look into it? And can he also outline what can we do to fulfil our moral duty to these desperate people?

Yes.
