Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) 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
I understand the hon. Gentleman’s points about transparency. In an ideal world, that would have been ideal. Unfortunately, we may not have got the decommissioning that we thought. It is not for me to determine the exact arrangements. There is an international independent commission headed by General John de Chastelain and eminent colleagues who are also internationally respected right across the world, as well as, on this occasion, two independent clergymen who witnessed what happened. That should give some confidence to the process.
