Robert Hamill Inquiry Report

Contribution

I thank the noble Baroness for her question. The noble Baroness, Lady Hoey, is absolutely right that the report is clear that there was no collusion. If I have learned anything from my period in Northern Ireland, it is about how important words can be, and their power both for good and ill. It is clear in this case as in many others. There was no collusion here. Regarding her other points, the noble Baroness wants to take me where I am not prepared to go this evening, but I appreciate what she has said and I, for one, appreciate the rule of law.
