Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 July 2025

Debate

Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Act 2007 (Extension of Duration of Non-jury Trial Provisions) Order 2025

Contribution

I hope I have demonstrated to noble Lords that the Secretary of State did not take this decision lightly and that all of the relevant information was considered. I am sure that I can count on the support of noble Lords across the Committee—at least, I hope so. Although our aim is to normalise all security arrangements as soon as it is safe to do so, for the moment, these provisions remain necessary to safeguard the administration of justice. I beg to move.
