HC Deb 16 July 2003 vol 409 c41WS
The Minister of State, Northern Ireland Office (Jane Kennedy)

I have today arranged for copies of Jim McDonald's annual report for 2002 to be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.

The report of the independent assessor continues to provide valuable reassurance 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 carefully. I will respond as soon as possible.
