“The Bill must address legacy based on truth and honesty; 186 children were killed in the troubles and victims deserve access to justice regardless of the perpetrator's uniform.”
“Reaffirmed that democratic route under Good Friday Agreement is the only legitimate path to constitutional change; those using violence are an impediment to it.”
“Focuses on state-loyalist collusion murders and IRA informants; questions whether earlier action could have saved lives and shortened the conflict.”
“Supports the Bill's goal of truth-seeking but demands commitment to releasing withheld government files (MI5, Northern Ireland Office, MOD) to the legacy commission.”
Eastwood holds no select-committee seat this session. New 2024-intake MPs typically wait one term before being appointed.
