BUSINESS OF THE DAY
1. Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill: Second Reading
Until 7:00pm (Standing Order No. 9(3))
Colum Eastwood
Claire Hanna
Liz Saville Roberts
Hywel Williams
Ben Lake
That this House considers that it is high time to bring forward legislation to address the legacy of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, as agreed in the Stormont House Agreement and New Decade, New Approach; but declines to give a Second Reading to the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill which would fail to fulfil those two agreements, imposes a unilateral and peremptory foreclosure on undertakings confirmed in New Decade, New Approach, would expropriate fundamental rights of victims and survivors and would be incompatible with Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights, occlude previously shared options for achieving measures of truth and accountability as features of sensitive and comprehensive approaches to address the legacy challenge, has been met with shock and resentment by groups representing victims and survivors, does not have the support of parties in Northern Ireland and, given these and other considerations, would be inimical to the cause of reconciliation.
Keir Starmer
Peter Kyle
John Healey
Tonia Antoniazzi
Thangam Debbonaire
Sir Alan Campbell
That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill because, notwithstanding the importance of finding a way to resolve outstanding legacy issues from the Troubles in which 3,520 people lost their lives including 722 UK armed forces personnel killed by paramilitary attacks, the Bill has only been published within seven days of its second reading debate and proposes a conditional immunity mechanism for killings which is unprecedented in UK law, with no pre-legislative scrutiny from a Select Committee, with no transparent public consultation, and with no advice from the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission; because the Bill does not have the cross-community support necessary to achieve reconciliation, includes powers which allow a Secretary of State to appoint the proposed independent Commission, and ignores the need for input from victims and survivors’ groups; and because the Bill does not secure a fair and balanced system for veterans which recognises their service, addresses reinvestigations and provides welfare support.
