This morning I would like to raise my concerns about the unilateral decision by the British Government to possibly grant amnesty to British soldiers. Yet again, we are standing here in the House speaking about the British Government reneging on agreements and on what we have tried to deliver. We have tried to deliver some justice for people across this island, particularly in the North. It is a deplorable act to give amnesty to people who have committed murders on any side. I look forward to our debate here on Monday night and hope that we will hear from the Minister on how we are going to talk to the British Government about this matter. Most of our unionist and nationalist colleagues in the North share my view on this matter. We must call the British Government out yet again on its deplorable act and disregard for the rights and lives of citizens of this country. I wish to express my complete disappointment on that.
