I strongly support the call for a debate on the report on collusion. While the two Governments have substantially shared values regarding Northern Ireland, that was not the case in the 1970s when it seems Britain viewed the situation through the lens of various distant colonial wars it had been fighting. It had very different attitudes. Unfortunately, even today's shared values do not seem to extend to an honest getting to grips with what happened 30 years ago.

I would also welcome a debate on the issue of rendition, the use of Shannon Airport, etc.
