'A disgrace' 'Intolerable'
The peer said families of those killed in the conflict have been done a "gross disservice". Speaking to BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme, he said of the inquiry: "Year after year (it has gone on for). We are talking about six years, a period much longer than the Iraq war.
He told the Daily Mail: "My sympathy is entirely with the families. "There are 179 families who lost loved ones, they are being forgotten completely."
"They want closure, and instead they have suffered deplorable delays. It is a disgrace." Lord Morris said the length of the inquiry, that has included giving people time to respond to claims made, was "intolerable".
"If the evidence has been gathered and the responses are there then Parliament should decide where we go from here," he said.
He said nobody was listening to his calls for progress, adding it was "high time" something was done.
