§ Mr. BrowneTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he intends to lay before Parliament the eighth annual report of the Independent Assessor of Military Complaints Procedures in Northern Ireland. [160531]
§ Dr. ReidI have today arranged for copies of Mr. Jim McDonald's annual report for 2000 to be placed in the Library of both Houses.
The report of the Independent Assessor continues to provide valuable reassurances to both the public and the Government that the army's complaints procedures stand scrutiny. I welcome Mr. McDonald's report and I will consider it further.
