Before proceeding with the Order of Business, I have the honour to extend a warm welcome to the Secretary of State to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tunisia, Mr. Youssef Mokkadem, accompanied by the Tunisian ambassador, who join us in the distinguished Visitors Gallery this afternoon. Your visit demonstrates the continuing co-operation and friendship between our two parliaments and countries. I express the confident hope that this visit will increase that co-operation and friendship, and that it will be to our mutual benefit.
