Motion text

That this House condemns any proposal that would permit an amnesty in all but name to those persons being sought by security services in Northern Ireland and throughout the United Kingdom for numerous offences (`on the runs'), many for murder and multiple murder; draws attention to the double standards of the Government who, on the same day as announcing such legislation allowing terrorists to walk free without a trial or any imprisonment in Northern Ireland, sought to introduce legislation that could be used to detain suspects throughout the UK for a prolonged period before any trial.
