PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
40th anniversary of murder of Edgar Graham (11 December 2023)
Motion Details
That this House notes the 40th anniversary of the murder of Ulster Unionist MLA Edgar Graham who was gunned down outside Queen's University Belfast on 7 December 1983; highlights that whilst there was a conviction for withholding evidence from the police, no convictions have taken place for his murder; and expresses the continuing sorrow for the loss of a leading light in Unionism, slaughtered only because he was an effective unionist politician, to his family and colleagues who await any form of justice for his murder.
