Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 February 2025
Debate
Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 (Remedial) Order 2024Contribution
This de facto moratorium did not apply to those who were described as dissidents. That same Government then have the brass neck to come and attempt to take legal action against our own Government. I ask the Minister: what steps are she and her colleagues taking to get this ridiculous case taken off the books? The hypocrisy of pursuing a moratorium on investigation and prosecution for over a quarter of a century, then taking the United Kingdom to court, is outrageous. It must be addressed but it is not being addressed.
