The Northern Ireland Secretary introduced the debate and noted that the Inquiry had taken 12 years and cost nearly £192m. The Minister wished to record the key finding that there had been a “serious and widespread loss of fire discipline” by members of Support Company of [1st Bn] The Parachute Regiment.
Comment: Lord Saville’s Inquiry into the circumstances that led to the killing of 13 civilians in Londonderry on 30 Jan 72 was published on 15 Jun 10, as HC 30.
