Potts: Everybody's thoughts must and will be with those who have died or been injured and their families and friends.

Commenting on the attacks on the tube network and a bus in London, Sam Potts, Liberal Democrats, said:

"Everybody's thoughts must and will be with those who have died or been injured and their families and friends. I want to pay tribute to the emergency services both in the public sector and the volunteer sector, including my St John Ambulance London Colleagues, for their swift response. What has happened is appalling and those who carried out these attacks must be brought to justice.

"These bombs have exploded as world leaders meet at Gleneagles. The moral contrast between those who seek to disrupt and destroy and those who are trying to build for the future could not be more stark. The terrorists must not prevail."
