00:00lawyer Pat Finucane was shot 14 times and murdered in his own house in front of his wife and three children.
00:07Can I commend Geraldine Finucane and the Finucane family, including of course the Member for North Belfast,
00:14for the tireless campaigning that they've done to get to this point.
00:17And can I thank the Secretary of State for finally doing the right thing on behalf of the British Government
00:23in announcing this inquiry. Can I ask him when does he envisage this inquiry beginning?
00:28Secretary of State.
00:29Well can I thank the Honourable Gentleman for his words.
00:35I mean he alludes to a very, very unhappy history in this and many, many other cases.
00:43Because I do take the point that the Honourable Member who just questioned me said
00:50about all of the pain and suffering that all families have experienced.
00:56But because of this particular case I've decided this is the right thing to do and I'm grateful.
