Labour — Leeds South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 October 2025

Debate

Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023: Replacement

Contribution

I indicated to the House some months ago that we were determined to find a means of dealing with the Supreme Court judgment in 2020 on the subject of the Carltona principle. That is what our proposed legislation will seek to remedy. We think it is a better formulation than sections 46 and 47, and I look forward to the hon. Gentleman’s support in passing it.
