Whitsun Adjournment

Proceeding contribution from Richard Bacon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 May 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Whitsun Adjournment.
I am grateful to my hon. Friend, who is being very generous. Another issue that occurs to me is this: how are we supposed to know in advance that we are about to become a victim of terrorism? I say that very seriously. At about a quarter to 3 in October 1984, I happened to be in Brighton. I walked through the revolving doors of the Grand Hotel to see whether some friends of mine were still there. I sat down and had a chat. About four to five minutes later, the Brighton bomb went off. I did not know that that was going to happen; if I had, I would have been somewhere else.
