"All those who value life will be appalled at the horrific attack on Yom Kippur on a synagogue in Manchester which has taken the lives of two people.

I join with all those who have condemned this attack on the Jewish community in Britain, a community that has a proud tradition in the history of human rights.

May I express my condolences to the relatives of those who have been killed and to other members of the Jewish community, and wish a speedy recovery to those who have been injured."
