Laid before Parliament the report of the Robert Hamill Inquiry, acknowledging the fifteen-year delay and expressing sympathy to Robert's family. The Inquiry concluded that the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) officers were not responsible for Robert Hamill’s death, but found significant omissions in the initial police investigation that hindered the murder investigation. The report highlighted wrongful omissions by two officers and a deliberate act by another officer, Robert Atkinson, who tipped off a suspect and conspired to cover up the call, leading to his conviction for perverting the course of justice.
