Ulster Unionist Party — South Antrim

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 October 2026

Debate

Northern Ireland Troubles Bill

Contribution

On that point, clause 72(5) says that the independent commission on information retrieval “must not do anything which…would risk prejudicing, or would prejudice, the national security interests of the United Kingdom or Ireland”. Who will make the assessment of whether something that the ICIR is looking at could risk the national security of the Republic of Ireland?
