§ Lord Lester of Herne Hillasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will publish the report by Judge Peter Cory on allegations of official collusion in the murder of Pat Finucane and five other murders, if necessary in a suitably redacted form to avoid prejudicing continuing investigations or to put at risk members of the security and intelligence services. [HL549]
§ Baroness AmosThe Government are committed to publishing Justice Cory's reports on the murders of Pat Finucane, Robert Hamill, Rosemary Nelson and Billy Wright as soon as possible, in line with the judge's terms of reference. These made it clear that any issues involving national security, the criminal process or the safety of individuals would need to be considered carefully first.
