INQUIRY INTO DEATH OF PAT FINUCANE

Early day motion 898, tabled 25 February 2009 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 35 members.

That this House notes the 20th anniversary of the murder of Pat Finucane; further notes the conclusions of the Stevens Inquiry into the murder of evidence of `collusion' and the `withholding of intelligence and evidence' and of the Cory Inquiry that `there is strong evidence that collusive acts were committed by the Army, the RUC SB and the security service'; regrets the Government's insistence that an inquiry into Pat Finucane's murder can only be held under the Inquiries Act 2005; believes that evidence of collusion between British forces and Loyalist paramilitaries in the case means only an independent inquiry free from Government constraints can establish the truth behind the murder; and supports the calls of the Finucane family and Amnesty International for a fully independent inquiry.

Signatures by party: Labour 23, Liberal Democrat 8, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Conservative 1.
