Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 May 2025

Debate

Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery

Contribution

The noble Lord served for many years in the other place and will be very aware that I cannot comment on ongoing court proceedings, but he does raise a very important case—that of the McConville family. Every time such cases are raised, we need to remember the impact they have on the families concerned and all victims of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Three and a half thousand people lost their lives; families were for ever destroyed, and many people were hurt. There is a responsibility on all of us to make sure they get justice where they can and get to find their truth too.
