Proceeding contribution from Julian Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 November 2019. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Historical Institutional Abuse (Northern Ireland) Bill [Lords].
Historical Institutional Abuse (Northern Ireland) Bill [Lords]
I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
It has been seven years since the Northern Ireland Executive established an independent inquiry into historical institutional abuse in Northern Ireland. Today’s legislation is based on an inquiry and report, undertaken by Sir Anthony Hart, that occupied 223 days of hearings. The Hart report investigated 22 institutions, but it identified a further 65 institutions that came within its terms of reference. The draft legislation was subject to a 16-week consultation process in Northern Ireland.
