Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Devolution (Northern Ireland).


Devolution (Northern Ireland)

There is a need to deal with the issues that arise from the past—of course, the Eames commission has looked at this—but we also know that we must move forward. I appreciate that feelings are still very raw in many communities as a result of what has happened over these past decades, but I hope that having dealt with some of the issues of reconciliation as we have done through the commission that sat to consider this matter, we can now also agree that we must move forward to build that better future.
