Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland Bill.
Northern Ireland Bill
My hon. Friend makes a good point; that the UVF, Ulster Defence Association and loyalist paramilitaries generally are still engaged in activity that is completely wrong and is effectively gangsterism. No real political objective can be easily attached to them any more, whatever honourable motivations they might have had a long time ago. There is no longer any political case or ideological argument behind their paramilitary and criminal activity, and it must stop.
