Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill 2005-06..
Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill
Nevertheless, the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Solihull (Lorely Burt) is valid. We are constantly told that the situation in Northern Ireland is normalising, so the estimate of 10 may be on the high side. There is a second point, which relates to other legislation that we have been discussing recently where the Government want to set up an entire, parallel quasi-judicial system to deal with on-the-runs, which will be a colossal expense. It is not acceptable for the Government to rail against the relatively modest investment in a three-judge Diplock court system while advocating an entire parallel system, at relatively high expense, for that other legislation.
