JUDICIAL INQUIRY INTO THE DEATH OF ROBERTY HAMILL (No. 2)

Early day motion 400, tabled 15 February 2000 by Kevin McNamara (Labour). Signed by 46 members.

That this House notes the deep public concern surrounding the death of Robert Hamill, a 25 year old Catholic, who was attacked and killed by a large crowd in Portadown on 27th April 1997, the alleged behaviour of the RUC in connection with this case, and the fact that no one has been convicted of this brutal murder; and, in common with Amnesty International, the International Relations Committee of the United States Congress, the SDLP, Sinn Fein, Alliance and Women's Coalition political parties in Northern Ireland, believes an independent judicial inquiry within the meaning of the Tribunal of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921 should be held into the circumstances of Robert Hamill's murder.

Signatures by party: Labour 32, Liberal Democrat 10, Conservative 1, Independent 1, Labour/Co-operative 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
