Business question from Ian Jnr Paisley (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 February 2014. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May I draw the attention of the Leader of the House to the sad and tragic case of Colin Worton, who, as a soldier serving in
Northern Ireland in 1983, was wrongly arrested and charged with a sectarian murder? He was subsequently released without conviction, but owing to the reputational damage that has followed him since, he has been unable to work. Would it be appropriate for us to have a debate about the case, and to see what recompense can be given to that former serving soldier?
