Two of Oxfordshire’s MPs have spoken of their shock at the death of David Cameron’s son, Ivan.

Henley MP Dr John Howell said: "I'm not sure there's anything that can be said in the face of such a family tragedy. "It's clearly a private affair and all our thoughts are with David and Samantha and the rest of the children."

Banbury MP Tony Baldry said: "I don't have the capacity to imagine what it's like to lose a child.

"I think everyone's heart will go out to David and Samantha Cameron at what is an awful time for them.

"I can't think of anything that can be said that can in anyway reduce the awfulness of losing a child."
