Miliband condemns 'inhuman' attack
Foreign Secretary David Miliband has expressed sympathy with the family of Andreas Liveras, the one Briton confirmed dead.
Mr Miliband said: "This is a callous, inhuman and indiscriminate attack on people of all races and all religions.
"This attack in Mumbai is an attack on all of us because democracy in India is vibrant and because Mumbai is one of the world's most diverse cities.
"The most terrible thing is that we do have one confirmed British fatality. Obviously our hearts go out to the family of the victim and we are determined to do all we can to support those who are currently in hospital."
He indicated they numbered more than the seven previously reported. "The number of injured has risen from that of this morning. It is not running away from that of this number, but it is higher than that," he said.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the terrorist attacks in Mumbai were met by "shock and outrage" around the world and pledged all possible UK support for the Indian authorities in dealing with it.
Mr Brown spoke after visiting staff at a Foreign Office emergency response centre, which he said had already taken more than 800 calls.
"We will do whatever is necessary to protect British citizens and ensure the world is a safer place," he said.
"This is a horrific incident which has shocked and outraged people around the world; this is the loss of innocent lives, people just going about their daily business. We've got to do everything we can now to help the Indian authorities.
"There are obviously British casualties and the High Commissioner is visiting those people who are injured in the hospitals of Mumbai. It is clear that a lot of people are also caught up in the hotel and we must make sure that they are safe."
