Proceeding contribution from Alex Burghart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 January 2026. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Northern Ireland Troubles: Legacy and Reconciliation.
Northern Ireland Troubles: Legacy and Reconciliation
The right hon. Gentleman is generous in giving way. Does he accept that conditional immunity, which is all that was in the legacy Act, is the very foundation of all the legislation passed after 1998? For the Labour party now to pretend that it is in some way morally abhorrent is utterly inconsistent.
