I welcome the Minister to her new role and I appreciate that she is picking up where her predecessor left off. That is the reason we tabled this amendment once more. My understanding, I am subject to correction, is that the Bill specifically states that sentences must have expired, but the prisoners under the Good Friday Agreement were released under licence and that is the reason we are pushing the amendment. There is that significant difference between the groups of people the Minister has described.
