Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 June 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Deepcut Review.


Deepcut Review

May I, too, congratulate the Government on their positive response to some of the recommendations? Does the Minister accept, however, that my constituents, Jim and Yvonne Collinson, and the other Deepcut families are no closer to finding out how and why their children died? The Blake report was good in places, but it only told us so much about what happened at Deepcut. Does he accept that, given the Government’s positive response to the report, we must find out how and why those young people died? The only way to do so is to compel witnesses to come forward and cross-examine them in a public inquiry.
