Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 April 2026. It occurred during Urgent question on Dunmurry Police Station Attack.

Dunmurry Police Station Attack

I will take the hon. Member’s question away. The allocation of resources is a matter for the Chief Constable. This is a very urgent investigation. I point out to him that one of the consequences of the legacy Act that the last Government passed was that responsibility for investigating troubles-related cases departed from the PSNI; it does not rest with the PSNI today, but with the legacy commission. It is the commission that does investigations in respect of the cases that have been referred to it, not the PSNI.
