I thank all those who have participated in the debate. It is heartening to find that we have universal support for the motion. I want to comment on and try to paraphrase what some Members have said. I will start with my colleague from North Antrim Mr Gaston. He criticised the wording of the motion. Of course, if Mr…
The killing of 10 innocent people in the Kingsmills massacre almost 50 years ago was wrong, sectarian and should be condemned outright.
