Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to make further progress with the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill.

Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Captain of the King's Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard (HM Household) (Deputy Chief Whip, House of Lords)

The Government is committed to the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill which will replace the flawed Legacy Act with a fair, transparent system that will allow victims and their families obtain the answers they have long sought, and provide robust and deliverable protections for our former service personnel.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what recent assessment he has made of the potential implications of the Dillon judgement for his Department's policies.

Answered by Hilary Benn

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they will take to protect the British Army from vexatious claims made by terrorists or their families relating to its actions during the Troubles.

Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Captain of the King's Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard (HM Household) (Deputy Chief Whip, House of Lords)

Civil litigation plays an important role in enabling facts to be uncovered, as well as enabling victims to feel that they have achieved some measure of justice even where they have not been able to achieve that through the criminal justice process.

For example, four individuals were found responsible for the Omagh bombing in the civil courts in 2009. The Judge in that case ordered £1.6m damages to the Omagh families as a result of this.

Civil claims are always decided on their merit by independent courts and in the vast majority of cases, civil claims are taken against the State, not against individuals.

This Government’s commitment to our Operation Banner veterans is unshakeable and that is why the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill puts in place the strongest possible safeguards, which were not included in the Legacy Act.

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will meet with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to discuss the potential impact of the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill on morale within the armed forces.

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

The Secretary of State for Defence routinely meets with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. to discuss the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, if he will make an assessment of the potential implications for his policies on the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill of the resignation letter by the former Armed Forces Minister of 11 June 2026.

Answered by Hilary Benn

The Northern Ireland Troubles Bill will enable all communities to have confidence in legacy processes, provide answers for victims and their families, including those in the Armed Forces, and provide clear protections for our veterans.

As the Prime Minister has set out, the Government will bring forward amendments at Committee that will improve the process for victims and families, further safeguard our Operation Banner veterans and ensure oversight of their protections, and clearly differentiate between the role played during the Troubles by our brave security forces and the actions of paramilitary terrorists.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the government of the Republic of Ireland about the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill since the publication of the Joint Framework in September 2025.

Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Captain of the King's Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard (HM Household) (Deputy Chief Whip, House of Lords)

The Government meets regularly with the government of the Republic of Ireland to discuss the progress made in implementing the two Governments’ respective commitments set out in the Joint Framework.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the proposed legislative timetable for Northern Ireland Troubles Bill.

Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Captain of the King's Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard (HM Household) (Deputy Chief Whip, House of Lords)

The Northern Ireland Troubles Bill will help victims and families to obtain the information and accountability they have long sought, whilst ensuring our veterans are treated with fairness and respect. The legislation will have its committee stage as soon as parliamentary time allows.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how they assess clauses 89 and 90 of the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill to be compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights, in light of sections 46 and 47 of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 being found incompatible by the Northern Ireland High Court in Dillon and others.

Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Captain of the King's Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard (HM Household) (Deputy Chief Whip, House of Lords)

The High Court found the provisions which concerned Interim Custody Orders in sections 46 and 47 of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 to be incompatible with our obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights.

As set out in the written ministerial statement [HCWS1063] made by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on 18 November 2025, we have carefully considered the High Court ruling and have tabled an alternative approach with clauses 89 and 90 to address the erroneous interpretation made in Adams regarding the application of the Carltona principle.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

Answered by Hilary Benn

The Bill will proceed to Committee stage as soon as Parliamentary time allows.
