Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has issued guidance on the relevance of the Overseas Operations (Service Personnel and Veterans) Act 2021 to investigations relating to Operation Banner.

Answered by Calvin Bailey - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for Veterans and People)

The Overseas Operations (Service Personnel and Veterans) Act 2021 is limited in scope to legal proceedings arising from overseas military operations outside the British Islands. The Act has no application for actions committed in Northern Ireland during Operation Banner.

This Government has brought forward separate legislation to deal with the legacy of the Troubles.
