"Several Members are addressing the Presidency with regard to the serious events currently taking place, of which you may be aware, involving a series of explosions on the London transport network. Several underground stations and several buses have been targeted, and it is reported that there are some people injured, perhaps some fatalities; we do not know any more for the moment.
I understand that Members wish to speak on this matter. I should simply like to say to them that the Presidency and the whole of Parliament are, of course, extremely concerned by what is happening. I simply propose that we do not open a debate now. These events are ongoing. I have been informed about them. I have requested information. There has been yet another explosion only a few minutes ago. A third incident, as the British call it – but it is more than that, it was in all likelihood an attack – has occurred in a London underground station. I believe that we should wait a little while longer before debating the issue, to find out what is happening and to have more information. For the time being, the London underground is completely blocked off, paralysed, closed.
In the meantime, I was very keen to make this announcement to you, and to say that our Parliament is obviously very concerned about what is taking place. I therefore propose that we continue our debate whilst awaiting further information."@en1
