Proceeding contribution from Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill.

Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill

The hon. Gentleman mentions the police interrogation techniques in Castlereagh. Many cases were thrown out of the Diplock courts because the judge ruled that confessions were unreliable. The hon. Gentleman also talked about the supergrass trials. Neither of those things are the responsibility of the Diplock courts or the judges. Those are different matters. Does he accept that he cannot use those arguments against the Diplock court system?
