  7. Call for response to Irish plea for investigation into 1970s bombingspublished at 11:59 British Summer Time 26 October 2016

    Northern Ireland questions

    House of Commons
    Parliament

    Stephen Pound

    Shadow Northern Ireland minister Stephen Pound says it is "42 years since the atrocity of the Dublin Monaghan bombing".

    In 1974 three car bombs exploded in Dublin, killing 23 people and injuring more than 100 others during rush hour. Five more people died and another 20 were hurt in a blast which hit the border town of Monaghan an hour later.

    The final death toll reached 33. Loyalist paramilitary group the Ulster Volunteer Force eventually admitted carrying out the bombings in 1994.

    Mr Pound asks for the government's response to a vote in the Republic of Ireland's parliament calling for an independent investigation and British co-operation.

    Minister Kris Hopkins agrees that the bombing was "an appalling act" and says the UK government is in "continuing dialogue with the Irish government".

  18. UKIP MEP accuses Parliament President of defamationpublished at 11:23 British Summer Time 26 October 2016

    Debate on EU leaders' summit

    European Parliament
    Strasbourg

    Mike Hookem

    UKIP MEP Mike Hookem makes an intervention, accusing both German MEP Manfred Weber and Parliament President Martin Schulz of having made "defamatory statements" about him during this morning's debate. 

    He asks if they would be able to repeat what they said outside the chamber, so he can take legal action against them. 

    MEPs are covered by parliamentary immunity for statements made in the chamber - although it can also be applied to statements made outside if deemed in relation to their duties. 

    Parliament President Martin Schulz says he made his comments as part of informing the chamber about the Parliament's inquiry, which has now been referred to the French police

    He adds that he he would have "no problem at seeing you in court".

  20. Labour MP Clive Lewis calls for 'progressive alliance'published at 11:14 British Summer Time 26 October 2016

    Clive LewisImage source, bb

    After our earlier report that three Labour MPs have called for the party to stand aside in the Richmond Park by-election, here's an interview with one of them.

    Speaking to the New Statesman, shadow cabinet minister Clive Lewis said he felt his party should work together with other "progressive" parties when necessary.

    The article says: "Lewis is a long-standing advocate of proportional representation and of a “progressive alliance”

    "He told me that Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party should have fielded a single pro-European candidate in the recent Witney by-election (which the Conservatives won with a reduced majority) and that he was open to working with the SNP."
