Baroness Hoey (Non-Afl)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 January 2025

Debate

Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery

Contribution

My Lords, the Government have decided to hold a public inquiry into the Pat Finucane case, rather than pass it to ICRIR, which the Secretary of State said was exceptional. A judge has now ordered a public inquiry into the death of Sean Brown, which, I am glad to say, is being appealed. Will the Government commit to a policy of there being no more public inquiries into legacy issues and legislate to this effect?
