Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 February 2025

Debate

Clonoe Inquest

Contribution

The Secretary of State asked rhetorically whether the law around inquests needs to change. The coroner had to answer four questions: where, when, who and how. He had no role in trying to answer why, but we know why: four depraved terrorists for the IRA and their warped ideology tried to destroy society and kill in our country. Yesterday, the Defence Secretary was clear when he said that those who served in the SAS that day, “deserve, and they will receive, our fullest support.”—[Official Report, 10 February 2025; Vol. 762, c. 21.] I will not stand for a rewriting of the past. Does the Secretary of State agree with the Defence Secretary?
