That is why I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Weir, that the history of the Troubles is being rewritten—or attempts are being made to rewrite it. It is almost impossible now for a terrorist to be convicted. We do not want the next 20 years to be full of inquest after inquest, furthered by lawyers making probably quite a lot of money, thinking, I am sure, that they are doing it for all the right reasons. If we continue with this, all that will happen is that reconciling people in Northern Ireland will be further away than ever. If the noble Baroness pushes this to a vote tonight, I will certainly oppose it.
