Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland (Offences) Bill.

Northern Ireland (Offences) Bill

Indeed, I do. I fully agree with the hon. Lady. She knows better than me many of the victims and many who felt that life was not worth living after their loved ones were blown up and their lives destroyed. I greatly appreciate that point. As I shall make clear later, the Bill is aimed at bringing closure and an end to the murderous IRA campaign, which the 28 July statement achieved and was confirmed by General de Chastelain’s statement on 26 September. The Bill is aimed at ensuring that the armed campaign is over and that there are no future victims of the IRA.
