Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, with reference to his oral statement of 11 September 2024 on Patrick Finucane Murder, Official Report, columns 841-3, whether he is considering other requests for public inquiries into incidents from the Troubles.

The Government considers all requests for public inquiries on a case-by-case basis.

As I outlined in my oral statement of 11 September 2024, there are exceptional reasons why I have decided to establish an inquiry into the death of Patrick Finucane.
