Motion Text

That this House notes the 40th anniversary of the murder of Ulster Unionist MLA Edgar Graham who was gunned down outside Queen's University Belfast on 7 December 1983; highlights that whilst there was a conviction for withholding evidence from the police, no convictions have taken place for his murder; and expresses the continuing sorrow for the loss of a leading light in Unionism, slaughtered only because he was an effective unionist politician, to his family and colleagues who await any form of justice for his murder.
