My noble friend Lady Ritchie raised the case of Sean Brown. We have discussed this many times and she is aware that the Government have huge sympathy for Bridie Brown and her family, who have suffered so much since the murder of Sean. The Government have applied for permission from the Supreme Court to appeal because the Brown judgment raises matters of constitutional significance that go beyond this individual case, but that does not mean that we do not recognise the family’s need for answers.
