Anniversary of the murder of Kenneth Smyth and Daniel McCormick

Motion text

That this House notes the anniversary of the murder of Kenneth Smyth and his colleague Daniel McCormick on 10 December 1971 as they travelled to work; notes that Kenneth was off duty and that Daniel had left the UDR and they were slaughtered as they headed to work together; further notes that no one has ever been brought to justice for this evil terrorist murder that saw these men brutally slain for no other reason than serving Queen and Country in the UDR and that the families still mourn their loss; and urges Government to consider cases like Kenneth’s, when reforming legacy legislation to ensure criminals, like the perpetrators of this atrocity, are brought to justice.
