Theresa Villiers MP has issued the following message on the death of Jo Cox MP:
“I was deeply shocked to hear about the death of my colleague Jo Cox. It was a horrifying and senseless attack that took place while she was working for her constituents. No words can make sense of this, and my thoughts are with her family and her constituents at this terrible time.”
"While I did not know Jo personally, it is clear from the warmth of the tributes paid to her that she was a very special person who was incredibly dedicated to the causes she believed in. I am certain that she will be greatly missed. I would like to thank everyone who has contacted me, and other MPs, to thank us for the work we do."
