That this House congratulates the consortium of all UK commercial radio stations in uniting for a one day UK Radio Aid broadcast on Monday 17th January in support, specifically, of children affected by the Asian tsunami disaster; welcomes this unprecedented collaboration; and hopes and expects that once again the British people will rise to the occasion in financial support of this initiative.
