Having had the privilege and honour to have worked with Brian for many years whilst contributing my own small part in this campaign I know he is far too modest to claim any credit for today's outcome, however there is no doubt that credit is due. While many well known names in Parliament have taken up this issue, and will rightly be publicly applauded for doing so, I am certain that we all - those serving, those who have served, and those who rely on the armed forces to do what they do - owe Brian a huge debt of gratitude for his selfless and unceasing work on behalf of the families of all who died that day.
