Hilary Benn

Labour — Leeds South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 January 2025

Debate

Legacy Discussions

Contribution

I have indeed seen that report. The problem is that the approach set out in the legacy Act has been found, in that respect and many others, to be unlawful. Of course we will continue, as the previous Government did, to see whether we can find a lawful way of dealing with the issue that the right hon. Gentleman has identified. That work will continue.
