justice at last .

You are correct Thomas; the pardons were signed by the late Queen it was discussed at length in the Commons back in 2014 here is just one account in media back then


IRA terrorists were among hundreds of people in Northern Ireland to receive royal pardons signed by the Queen, MPs were told yesterday.



Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers revealed that the royal prerogative of mercy was exercised in the province at least 365 times between 1979 and 2002.



The true total will be much higher, since the Northern Ireland Office claims records for the ten-year period between 1987 and 1997 have gone missing.



Critics now say there appears to have been a ‘cover-up’ over the use of amnesties, issued by the Queen on the advice of ministers. The bulk of the cases – 347 – from the period 1979 to 1986 are non-terrorism related and predate the peace process.



A number are thought to have been handed to loyalist and republican ‘super-grasses’ who gave key evidence at court cases during the Troubles.



However, it is believed that around 10 per cent of the earlier pardons – and the majority of those issued under Tony Blair’s government between 1997 and 2002 – did relate to terror offences.



In this period, royal pardons were granted to escaped IRA terrorists as part of the Northern Ireland peace deal. Among those to benefit were Angelo Fusco, Paul Patrick Magee and Robert Campbell who were convicted for their part in the murder of SAS Captain Herbert Westmacott but were among a group who escaped from a north Belfast jail in June 1981.



Former Labour minister Kate Hoey, who uncovered the pardon figures via Parliamentary questions, suggested the Queen had been put in an ‘invidious’ position. ‘I want to know who all these people are. I think that the public will want to know,’ she said.



She asked why the pardons had apparently not been listed in official government journals, the Belfast Gazette or the London Gazette, as would normally be the case.





Miss Hoey also insisted that the Government must explain how a decade of records covering a key period, during which John Major’s administration was advancing the peace process, could have vanished.

As far as I am aware no such Pardons were offered to former NI Police Officers or former Squaddies who are suspected of committing criminal offences during the troubles,      

It was reported in various media outlets including NI media, as it was discussed in the Commons, it should all be on record by Hansard 

It is NOT.  As I said I searched.   It was a written answer to Kate Hoey and I have given you a link to that and the subsequent relevant written answers
 
Hansard hasn't covered written answers since 2010
