The government’s legacy plan will just fuel more hounding
I dispute comments by junior minister Lord Younger of Leckie in the Lords on Thursday, that the Government wants to draw a line under the past.
Far from drawing a line, the Historical Inquiries Unit (HIU) will initiate a hounding process.
The HET [envisaged under current legacy plans] is a parallel police force set up as part of the Stormont House Agreement between the DUP and Sinn Fein and I wish to reiterate very clearly it most emphatically does not have the support of the UUP.
