Hilary Benn

Hilary Benn

Labour — Leeds South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 June 2026

Debate

Replacing the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023

Contribution

I have consulted and met a wide range of people. I have seen the amendment that has been tabled, which we will come to when the Bill is in Committee, but the hon. Gentleman will be aware that there is already provision in the Bill for protection from repeated investigations unless the commission regards them as essential. I recognise, however, the need to build upon what we have already in the Bill, and that will be visible when the amendments are published.
