Aegis Specialist Risk Management

EDM number 1182 in 2007-08, proposed by Mark Durkan on 12/03/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Administration of justice, Crimes of violence and Iraq.

That this House regards upholding the rule of law as a primary duty of all servants of the state; rejects the statement by Aegis Specialist Risk Management that there was political motivation behind the convictions of Guardsmen James Fisher and Mark Wright for the murder of innocent teenager Peter McBride in Belfast in 1992; calls upon this company to demonstrate full and due regard for rulings of the Court of Appeal in this and other cases; calls upon the Secretary of State for Defence to review the suitability of this company for public contracts in view of its demonstrable disregard for the rule of law; notes that the United States Department of Defense has recently awarded a two year contract for work in Iraq worth $475 million to Aegis Specialist Risk Management; and asks the Government to make representations reflecting concerns on this matter to the relevant authorities in the United States.

This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
