Categorised under the topics of Crimes of violence, Death, Public inquiries and Terrorism.

That this House acknowledges the great effort by the Rt Hon Desmond De Silva QC and the sincerity of the Prime Minister's apology on behalf of the country to the family of the late Patrick Finucane; notes the depressingly large-scale collusion between state officials and loyalist killers revealed by De Silva; and calls for a full public inquiry into these events as being the only way to provide closure for the Finucane family, whose dignified campaign so moved the Prime Minister and the House, to reveal to the public and parliaments of both the Irish Republicand Great Britain the exact nature and extent of state collusion in loyalist murders.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
