Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 October 2025

Debate

Northern Ireland Troubles

Contribution

The Secretary of State indicated that the Government are introducing what he described as “strong safeguards”, and he says that the legacy commission will be “under a duty not to duplicate aspects of any previous investigations unless there are compelling reasons that make it essential.” What will he do when—not if, but when—the Republic of Ireland’s Government come under severe pressure from other sources to make compelling reasons to him that there has to be something investigated that the person who is the subject of that investigation believed they would be excluded from? What will he do then?
