Saville Inquiry

Debate between Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton and Owen Paterson

Tuesday 15th June 2010 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

Yes, I can do that. The hon. Gentleman makes a good point, which is that people will want to study the report in detail. The scale of it is enormous. I have brought in only one of the eight or ten volumes—

[The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (Mr Owen Paterson)]

Ten.

[The Prime Minister]

This is just one of the 10 volumes that have been published today. People will want to take time to read them. In a way, I am sorry that the debate is not until the autumn, but it is probably right to give the Government, the families and others time to assess what is in the report and to come back with sensible proposals, where necessary, on how to deal with them.
