Proceeding contribution from Gordon Banks (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
The difficulty is whether the Bill is in effect an amnesty, but it sets out a proper judicial process under which individuals will be prosecuted and, if found guilty, will have a criminal record and be on licence for the normal tariff for their conviction. If they break the law, in the terms set out in the Bill, they will be liable to imprisonment both for the new offence and for the certificated one.
