David Davis

Conservative — Goole and Pocklington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 November 2025

Debate

“Soldier F” Trial Verdict

Contribution

During his responses today, the Secretary of State has said two things: on the one hand, he said that letters of comfort do not give immunity; and on the other hand, he accepted that letters of comfort stopped the prosecution of Mr Downey for the Hyde Park bombing. It seems to me that those two statements are inconsistent. What way is available to him to correct Hansard and put one of them right?
