Foreign secretary Philip Hammond confirmed that all 30 British victims had now been identified and he was “confident” that this was the final death toll.
“We now have all 30 British victims positively identified and we can say with a high degree of confidence that is now the final death toll of British nationals killed in this incident,” said Hammond.
Tui UK, owner of both Thomson and First Choice, said in a statement: “The whole company would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of those involved in this tragic event.
“Our main focus now is to ensure the families of the deceased and our customers who have been injured receive all possible support at this incredibly difficult time.
“Everyone at Thomson and First Choice is absolutely devastated by the tragic loss of life and terrible pain that this incident has caused.”
The company also publicly thanks its staff for their “incredible efforts” in dealing with the aftermath of the attack at Port El Kantaoui, near Sousse, last Friday, which killed a total of 38 people.
Tui also praised Tunisian emergency services and authorities.
Meanwhile Tunisia’s tourism ministry has announced a series of measures to attract visitors back to the country including the reduction of VAT from 12% to 8% and cancelling the departure tax of 30 dinars (around £10).
A minute’s remembrance is due to be held across the UK tomorrow (Friday) at noon – one week after the terror attack took place.
