"During the night of 26 and 27 September 2002, a Senegalese vessel
carrying more than 1 000 people, sank near the Senegalese-Gambian coast. Now, nearly two weeks later, 476 bodies have been recovered from the sea and 500 remain missing.
On behalf of Parliament, I wrote to express our sincere condolences to President Wade of Senegal and to invite him to convey our condolences to the families of the victims. It is important today that we should, in a solemn moment of silence, show our respect for the dead and the bereaved and to connect, from the northern hemisphere, with this African tragedy as an act of reassurance and solidarity that the south matters to us. I ask you to observe one minute's silence.

Last Sunday, 6 October 2002, his Royal Highness Prince Claus von Amsburg, husband of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, died in Amsterdam after a long illness. Prince Claus committed himself to Dutch society with strength, seriousness, dedication and, when appropriate, with humour.
We are well aware of his dedication to the cause of international development cooperation. I would like to inform the House and our Dutch colleagues that, on your behalf and on their behalf, I have transmitted our sincere condolences to Her Majesty, Queen Beatrix and to the Dutch people."@en1
