§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list known British victims of the terrorist attacks of 11 September. [15664]
§ Mr. BradshawTo date, four British nationals, and one foreign national with a close connection to the United Kingdom, have been positively identified as among the dead.
A further 72 people are on our list of possible victims of the terrorist attacks. This number includes 54 British nationals, five dual nationals and 13 foreign nationals with close links to the United Kingdom. The police are checking meticulously all reports of missing people and the final number of victims could still change.
It would be an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the families of the victims to list the names here. We must respect the wish of the families for privacy in their time of grief.
