Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 June 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on The Saville Inquiry.
The Saville Inquiry
My Lords, there is no hierarchy of victims and no inequality whatever here. What happened was an extremely rare case of soldiers who killed by opening fire on a march when they had no belief that they were under threat. That is what sets it apart from everything else. It is why Bloody Sunday has cast such a long shadow down the ages. Every death is to be deeply regretted, wherever it occurred, but today we are dealing with the results of the Bloody Sunday inquiry.
