European Parliament
President.
Thank you very much, Mrs McCarthy. I must tell you that that letter has been sent, and that I have previously sent my condolences to the family and to the British people. The letter of condolence that I have sent to the Bigley family says that we all feel affected by this brutal murder. We had previously called on the kidnappers to free Mr Bigley, but that call – like so many from every part of the world – was in vain. Now all we can do is mourn his death and express our condolences to his family. So, that letter has been sent. I thank you for suggesting we should do so.
