Post Office minister Kevin Hollinrake responded: “ said this Parliament is sovereign. Absolutely it is sovereign, but on these matters her Parliament is also sovereign. He added: “Does she not believe that in that situation her Parliament should act in terms to overturn these convictions?”The Northern Irish MPs thanked the Tory minister for including their nation in the bill.
DUP MP Jim Shannon said: “On behalf of 23 postmasters and postmistresses in Northern Ireland … a week ago or a month ago they had little hope, today they have hope, and that’s due down to the minister’s endeavours on behalf of them.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
