Written Question
Administrative Scheme for the "On the Runs" Independent Review
Tuesday 22nd July 2014

Asked by: Lady Hermon (Independent - North Down)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, if he will publish the advice the Law Officers' Department gave to Lady Hallett on the lawfulness of the administrative scheme operated for the benefit of on-the-runs.

Answered by Robert Buckland

The then Attorney General, Dominic Grieve, and a member of the Attorney General’s Office gave evidence to the Hallett Inquiry but did so as witnesses rather than legal advisers. Lady Justice Hallett reached her own view on the lawfulness of the administrative scheme.
