British justice has had its days of shame, and we are all aware of the various miscarriages of justice that have taken place over the years. Yesterday, the Saville report, although not strictly a creature of the British justice system, did much to make atonement for past wrongs. Whatever about the issue of whether prosecutions will follow, I hope everything possible is done in that regard.

It is important to say that yesterday was a celebration of the telling of the truth. The people who committed evil acts in the past know the truth about what they did is now out. I hope that sends a message to evil doers everywhere that in time the truth does come out. That is a powerful message and let us hope there will be further truth telling, as other speakers have mentioned, about other killings——
