Harriet Harman MP, Acting Leader of the Labour Party, responding to the events in Tunisia, said:

“It is now clear that many British citizens have been affected by the devastating attacks in Tunisia, and our deepest sympathy and thoughts go out to the families and friends of all those killed and injured.

“These shocking events, as well as the attacks in France and Kuwait, remind us of the constant threat the world faces from terrorism, and the need for constant vigilance.

“There is now crucial work being done by staff and services to help ten to the injured, reunite families and bring those affected home.

“It is disappointing that the impact of these crimes will also be felt by Tunisia’s economy, not least its growing and important tourism industry.

“We will back the Government as it works to help the families affected and counter these extremist ideologies which have so brutally taken the lives of the innocent.“
