Proceeding contribution from Jeffrey M Donaldson (Democratic Unionist Party) 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

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that a prime example of this differentiation that the Government make is the anticipated legislation on ““on the runs””, when the Government propose to give a de facto amnesty to terrorists, some of whom have committed the most atrocious crimes in Northern Ireland, and that it is very difficult for the layman to understand how one can make that distinction, no matter how nuanced the arguments may be?
