Prime Minister Gordon Brown Discusses eden's trust

Transcript from hansard of house of commons PMs questions:

Mr Less Scott MP - Will the Prime Minister please join me in sending condolences to the family of Eden Galvani-Skeete, a beautiful six-year-old girl who burned to death in Turkey last summer, and assist the family in getting justice from the Turkish authorities and ensuring that those responsible are brought to trial?

The Prime Minister - I am sure that the whole House will want to join the hon. Gentleman in sending our condolences to Eden’s family. I understand that the deputy head of mission and British vice-consul at our embassy called the Minister at the Turkish Ministry of Tourism on 8 February to raise our concern about the general safety of British nationals in such unsupervised shows. The Turkish authorities have started legal proceedings against some members of staff at the hotel complex. The next hearing is scheduled for 8 May. Consular staff in London have remained in contact with the Galvani-Skeete family and are keeping them updated with any news from the court case in Turkey. We will continue to do that up to and all the way through the proceedings. (23/07/07)
