Alex Burghart

Conservative — Brentwood and Ongar

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 June 2026

Debate

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

Contribution

With all due respect, the Secretary of State did not answer my question. This is an extraordinary missing piece of the puzzle in the story of the troubles—in the story of how the IRA obtained weapons that killed people in our country. The Secretary of State is perfectly within his rights to raise this with his opposite numbers, and to ask them to conduct a full public inquiry on behalf of the victims. Will he do so?
