It is with profound regret that the Chairman announces the sudden and tragic loss of Sir David Amess MP, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Fire Safety and Rescue.
Sir David fell victim of a fatal knife attack in his constituency at Southend West in Essex.
Many members will recall from our Parliamentary events meeting and listening to Sir David and will know that he was a great supporter for the improvement of fire safety in the UK. His presence and advocacy in many debates, through meetings and correspondence with Ministers and his colleagues in both Houses, was frankly unlimited.
Our thoughts go his family and friends at this distressing time.
