Proceeding contribution from Lord Cope of Berkeley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 March 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Ireland: Massereene Army Base.
Northern Ireland: Massereene Army Base
My Lords, I add my voice to the condolences that have been offered all round the House. We all heard yesterday and read in the papers this morning the statements made by the various Northern Ireland parties following these appalling murders, some of them in sharp contrast to what might have been said by individuals on similar occasions in the past, and all the more welcome for that. Does the Lord President agree that the sincerity of those statements will be judged by the actions that follow, and particularly by the speed with which any information that comes to anyone’s attention about who might have perpetrated these murders is given to the police to enable prosecutions to follow as quickly as possible?
