I entirely endorse what the hon. Gentleman has just said. May I impose for a second longer on the House with the observations of Sir Robert Thompson, whom I quoted earlier? He also said that"““the firm policy of the government to bring all persons who have committed an actual offence to public trial””"
is vital. He went on:"““This has the great advantage not only of showing that justice is being done but of spotlighting the brutality of terrorist crimes and the whole nature of the insurgent conspiracy””."
That is precisely what the trial of that terrible case has just done.
