It is incumbent on the committee that when we meet delegations about Brexit, particulary from the Welsh Assembly or the Scottish Parliament, legacy is on the agenda. We have tended not to do that and have looked more at the economic aspects and cross-Border co-operation, and legacy issues have been down the priority list. The committee should have that in mind when we meet those delegations. Dr. Leahy made a very interesting point about other politicians. It was hoped that there would be a debate on this in the House of Commons but other issues have taken over in the meantime. However, such a debate is needed.
