I tabled this question over my deep concern regarding comments of some members of the British House of Commons regarding two active cases in the British courts involving the unlawful killings of Irish citizens by British soldiers in the North of Ireland in the 1970s. I do not want to comment on the details of the killings and I am sure the Minister does not as well. The Minister will probably be aware that both cases have been heavily commented on in the House of Commons and in tabloids. Does the Minister share my concerns at how this clear abuse of parliamentary privilege might impact on these and future cases?
