At the outset I thank the Kenova team for its service, initially under the leadership of Jon Boutcher and, subsequently, Sir Iain Livingstone. People who have an opportunity, if they have not done so already, to read the report today will see it certainly makes for interesting reading. There are shocking claims of collusion. Paramilitary groups were regularly supplied with intelligence by members of security forces. However, it is also very critical of the Provisional IRA, referencing the wanton use of torture and murder in its own community. This is a really important piece of work that has been done. The Deputy is wrong in saying that there has not been a priority or a focus put on this by the Government. There has been a huge amount of engagement between this Government, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and the UK Government to bring about the framework, which was agreed in September. The framework strikes a very fine balance in making sure the most important thing happens here, namely, that families get the truth. Any information here will be fed into the overall work that is being done with the framework but the legislation will go through the Houses-----

The fact that the UK Government has moved with such speed is welcome and we will work with which to make sure it can be implemented.
