Motion text

That this House notes that 5 January marks the 50th anniversary of the Kingsmills Massacre in which 10 Protestant workmen were ordered off their work minibus, lined up and shot dead by the IRA in a brutal sectarian attack; regrets that, as with so many terrorist murders, no one has been brought to justice for this barbaric crime; commends the Kingsmills Memorial Committee on organising the very dignified Memorial Service held on 4 January 2026 and the various victims groups that have worked to help the victims’ families in their continuing grief; and calls on the Government to pursue a legacy policy that is demonstrably innocent victim centred.
