Mr Speaker
I should like to make a short statement following the announcement from Clarence house today of the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton. I am sure that Members from both sides of the House will join me in congratulating the couple on this most happy occasion, and wishing them all the very best for their future together.
