1913: Downing Street has given us an update on the latest meeting of Cobra, the UK's emergency committee. Foreign Secretary David Miliband told the group "we were progressing well in getting passengers across the Channel" and that more than 100 coaches will arrive at Madrid airport "in the coming days" to ferry Britons home from there. Transport Secretary Lord Adonis is due to meet airline chief executives and the Civil Aviation Authority later today to discuss the situation further.
1929: Another quick word on the handling of the ash crisis, as a groundswell of discontent towards the government begins to grow among those stranded. A Downing Street source has told the BBC: "We are looking at the coaches to pick up people who arrive in Madrid. They haven't started arriving in any significant numbers, but there are a few hundred who have arrived by air and we are looking at urgent coach provision to get them back from Madrid."
