Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 February 2025

Debate

Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 (Remedial) Order 2024

Contribution

These cases are over 25 years old. Sean Brown and Liam Paul Thompson were shot dead by loyalists; the Kenova victims were murdered by the IRA. The families want to see the information held by the state in relation to these murders. In each case the Government, through their agencies, are refusing to release the material. The question for the people of Northern Ireland is: why are the Government withholding the information, even in gisted form?
