Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 December 2025

Debate

Northern Ireland Troubles: Legacy and Reconciliation

Contribution

Yesterday, Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton highlighted the need to recruit people to our armed forces to protect this nation. How does the Secretary of State expect to do that when those who served gallantly in Northern Ireland face prosecution? Why would young men and women join our armed forces with the risk of that happening to them? What message does that send to those young people?
