Sir Edward Leigh the Member of Parliament for the Gainsborough Constituency has issued a statement regarding the killing of constituent Miss Carly Lovett in a terror attack in Tunisia. Sir Edward Leigh said:

“It is with shock and sorrow that I have learnt of the death of my constituent Miss Carly Lovett, a resident of Gainsborough, who has been killed in Tunisia by gunmen who have terrorised the resort of Sousse.

“I can only offer my condolences to her family, friends and fiancé. Words will never adequately provide comfort for those who must face a very different future to the one that they imagined. As the local Member of Parliament I will work with colleagues in the government to ensure that those who perpetrated this horrific act are brought to justice.

“I am pleased at the reports that Lincolnshire Police have reacted swiftly to support Miss Lovett's family and trust that there will be respect the family's need for privacy at this difficult time.”
