The whole House will want to pass on its heartfelt condolences and sympathies to those affected by this appalling atrocity.</p><p> </p><p>The Government accepts the Police Ombudsman’s Report and the Chief Constable’s response. We take any allegations of police misconduct very seriously and where there is evidence of wrongdoing it must be pursued – everyone is subject to the rule of law.</p><p> </p><p>The Report is also very clear, however, that those responsible for this despicable attack were the UVF terrorist gang who planned it and carried it out. Nor did the police have prior knowledge of the attack which could have enabled them to prevent it.</p><p> </p><p>The Chief Constable made clear in his report; “The PSNI remains firmly committed to apprehending those responsible for these murders and appeal to the community for information to allow us to do so.”</p><p> </p><p>On behalf of the Government I echo that commitment and that appeal.</p> answering member constituency Chipping Barnet answering member printed Mrs Theresa Villiers question first answered 27/06/2016 11:08:17 answering member 1500 label Biography information for Theresa Villiers

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/02/2016 answer text <p>Reform is essential if the legacy inquest system is to deliver effective outcomes for families. The current system was never designed to cope with a large number of highly complex and sometimes linked cases involving very sensitive information. I welcome the efforts of the Lord Chief Justice to review legacy inquests. If workable inquest reform plans come forward, serious consideration would be given to their potential merits.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chipping Barnet answering member printed Mrs Theresa Villiers question first answered 29/02/2016 13:18:25 answering member 1500 label Biography information for Theresa Villiers previous answer version 47315 answering member constituency Chipping Barnet answering member printed Mrs Theresa Villiers answering member 1500 label Biography information for Theresa Villiers
