There are insufficient words to condemn the terrorists who perpetrated Easter Sunday's outrage in Sri Lanka. The co-ordinated attacks on three churches and three hotels have killed nearly 300 innocent people and wounded hundreds more. The attacks are believed to have been carried out by members of an obscure Islamist extremist group. There are also fears that it worked with other extreme organisations. One man, Anders Povlsen, a Danish businessman, lost three of his four children in the attacks. There are reports today that this outrage was revenge for the Mosque shootings in New Zealand, but there can be no excuse for these cowardly killings and the terrorists must be hunted down and face justice. Hatred never achieves anything, except misery for the victims and further inspiration for twisted minds. Regrettably, I was at a meeting with Education Secretary Damian Hinds when the Chamber held a minute's silence so that MPs could pay their respects to the dead and injured. Later I stood in my office quietly for a minute to reflect on this appalling outrage. I'd been to see Mr Hinds in support of a move by Dorset Council to open a new special free school on Osprey Quay, Portland. The purpose-built school at the bottom of the island has been empty since 2017 when juniors there moved to Atlantic Academy at the top of the island. The building is leased to Aspirations Academy Trust and the council is trying to persuade the organisation to sublet it for a new special free school. I had gone to Mr Hinds to secure his support. As it happens, the council and education officials are due to meet on 1 May for further discussions. There are two other potential sites for this school but with 20 per cent of SEND children coming from Weymouth and Portland the council thinks that Osprey Quay is the best location. I agree. I attended two other private meetings during the day. Despite the Easter break, the mood here has hardly improved. And tonight the '22 Committee will look at the rules governing the PM's position.
