Debate

Northern Ireland Troubles Bill

Contribution

Well, Secretary of State, Tommy does see. They see up there in the Gallery right now, and we Conservative Members see, too. We will not allow our veterans to be sacrificed as part of some wider diplomatic gambit with Dublin, at the behest of No. 10 North—or South. Our mission remains steadfast, as it has been throughout the tortuous progress of this wretched Bill: it is to defend those who defended us, and that is exactly what we are going to do—if necessary, in the House of Lords as well.
