00:00I think the Prime Minister is absolutely right. This is a tragic case, desperately, desperately

00:04a sad case. I was shocked when I heard the news. I think first and foremost of Mr Arday's

00:09friends, but his family in particular leaves two children without a father. I think the events

00:15leading up to his death raised questions, raised questions about duty of care, about the nature

00:20of modern media scrutiny. But the Prime Minister is absolutely right that now is not the time to

00:24rush to judgment on any of those questions. It's a time for reflection, for us to think,

00:28I think, compassionately about the family who are coming to terms with the loss of a loved

00:32one.
