Text
I thank the Member for giving way. I echo her comments about the strength and tenacity that the victims have shown throughout. I am not a member of the Executive Office Committee, but I pay tribute to all its members, who have done a massive amount of work in scrutinising the Bill. I would like your opinion on amendment No 10. At Second Stage, everyone agreed that no stone should be left unturned when it comes to making sure that every institution involved in such shameful acts is held to account and that any moneys that can be got from such institutions are got in order to support victims. Will you expand on the Committee's work on that and on how impactful that amendment would be?
