Jennette Arnold OBE AM, Chair of the London Assembly, said:

“Our hearts go out to everyone injured in the Parsons Green explosion and once again we thank the emergency services for their prompt and professional care.

These cowardly incidents only make us more determined to defy anyone who would attack us.

Their attempts to disrupt our lives will not succeed and nothing they can do will sway us.

We stand firm alongside all Londoners daily - and especially today.”
