Proceeding contribution from Julian Brazier (Conservative) 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

The Secretary of State repeatedly used the word ““closure””, and subsequently made it clear that it has nothing to do with the victims, but apparently with violence. Will he explain how allowing those who are genuinely on the run abroad to come back to the UK to send a text message to the Secretary of State’s wretched commissioner—that is virtually all that they have to do—will somehow make it safer for people who live perhaps in the very street to which those people return to live?
