Kennedy: London Terrorist Attacks Are Not Just An Issue For The Muslim Community But For All Of Us Who Share This Country.

At Prime Minister’s Questions today Charles Kennedy, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, reiterated ‘the shared sense that we all have of deep sympathy for those suffering distress as a result of the loss’ after last Thursday’s London terrorist attacks.

He said it made sense ‘for the three party leaderships to stand now as one with the Muslim community on that basis and in so doing for us all to demonstrate together that this is not simply an issue for the Muslim community alone but it is an issue for all of us who share this country and share with them, British citizenship.’

Mr Kennedy also asked the Prime Minister about the retention of phone and email data - specifically ‘how confident is the Government at the moment that they will have the support from European Governments in pursuing this and that the service providers will, in fact, have the capacity to store the data that will be required?’
