Proceeding contribution from Baroness Burt of Solihull (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 31 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill.
Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill
Is the Secretary of State aware that the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission has called for the repeal of part VII and schedule 9 of the Terrorism Act 2000, relating to the working of the Diplock courts? Obviously, it is very important that in times gone by families and jurors were protected by having a single judge making decisions in that way. However, it has been suggested that one step towards normalisation might be to have one judge instead of three judges, so that confidence in the judicial system could be greatly enhanced among people on all sides.
