HC Deb 10 December 2001 vol 376 cc546-7W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many families she has met of the victims of the 11 September events. [17201]

Tessa Jowell

I have been co-ordinating work to ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place in the UK and US to support the families of UK victims and of those victims with close links to the UK. The present estimate is that 78 such families lost a relative. I have met many of them—here and in New York.
