Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, with reference to his announcement of 19 March 2021 on Twitter on Victims' Payments, from which New Decade, New Approach (NDNA) priorities outlined in Annexe A funding is planned to be drawn; and how much funding he plans to be drawn from total NDNA funding to meet that commitment.

Answered by Robin Walker - Minister of State (Northern Ireland Office)

The New Decade, New Approach deal provided the restored Executive with a £2bn financial package that delivers for the people of Northern Ireland. This included £140m to be allocated to address Northern Ireland’s unique circumstances.

£40m of this funding has already been earmarked for various projects in conjunction with the Executive. To enable the Executive to begin implementing the Troubles Permanent Disablement Scheme, I have agreed with the Treasury that the Executive will be able to access the remaining £100m NDNA funding earmarked for Northern Ireland’s unique circumstances.

This flexibility will substantially reduce the costs in those years where costs are more significant. There is nothing standing in the way of the Executive delivering the scheme as set out in legislation.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, if he will provide details of his engagements on 16 March 2021.

Answered by Robin Walker - Minister of State (Northern Ireland Office)

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland regularly undertakes engagements in line with his ministerial portfolio. On 16 March, he attended Cabinet alongside the Prime Minister and ministerial colleagues. Later that day, he conducted meetings with various stakeholders on a range of matters relating to departmental business.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the implementation of devolution in Northern Ireland.

Answered by Viscount Younger of Leckie - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

This Government remains fully committed to the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, which provided an important and stable base for power-sharing in Northern Ireland. The New Decade New Approach (NDNA) deal reached in January 2020 resulted in the restoration of the NI institutions. Good progress has been made in implementing the deal (which has included releasing over £555million of the £2bn of funding agreed in the deal and progress towards the establishment of an independent fiscal council) and establishing the governance structures that underpin NDNA (such as the Joint Board and Implementation Review meetings). The Government does acknowledge, however, that some of the matters targeted for early resolution under NDNA have been affected and challenged by the ongoing public health crisis.

The Government is working to deliver the next tranche of our commitments, such as progressing legislation on the sustainability of the institutions and reforms to the Petition of Concern mechanism.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that citizens of Northern Ireland have the same rights as citizens of other nations in the United Kingdom.

Answered by Viscount Younger of Leckie - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

The Government is firmly committed to ensuring the ongoing recognition and protection of rights for all people across the UK.

Guarantees of equality and rights, which recognise the unique circumstances of Northern Ireland, are a fundamental part of the Belfast Agreement.

The Government remains firmly committed to upholding the Belfast Agreement in all its parts, including the important rights it protects, the constitutional principles it upholds, and the institutions it established.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what estimate he has made of the level of redress that family members of those bereaved in Libyan-sponsored IRA terrorism will be able to access through (a) the Northern Ireland Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme and (b) The Troubles Permanent Disablement Scheme.

Answered by Robin Walker - Minister of State (Northern Ireland Office)

We must pursue fairness and consistency in the provision of support to victims of terrorism - which is why publicly funded support has been made available to victims of the Troubles who are eligible for the Northern Ireland Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme and the Troubles Permanent Disablement Scheme.

The UK Government welcomes the recent undertaking given to the Court that the Executive will make the necessary funding available to ensure eligible victims receive the payments to which they are legally entitled through the Troubles Permanent Disablement Scheme.

We recognise that there is a wider issue around the suitability of arrangements to make payments to the bereaved in Northern Ireland, and the Secretary of State has encouraged the Executive to consider what more could be done to help.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether he has (a) discussed with and (b) met with William Shawcross to discuss the contents of his report on Libyan-sponsored IRA terror.

Answered by Robin Walker - Minister of State (Northern Ireland Office)

The then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Julian Smith, had a discussion with Mr Shawcross as part of the evidence gathering process which informed the content of the internal scoping report. Officials from the Northern Ireland Office also had a number of engagements with Mr Shawcross and his team as part of the same process.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether he has made representations to the Secretary of State for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on the adequacy of (a) the Criminal Injuries Compensation scheme and b) the Troubles Permanent Disablement scheme for family members of the bereaved.

Answered by Robin Walker - Minister of State (Northern Ireland Office)

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and his officials regularly engage with their counterparts in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on a large variety of issues.

We recognise that there is a wider issue in Northern Ireland around the suitability of arrangements to make payments to the bereaved, and the Secretary of State has encouraged the Executive to consider what more could be done to help.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether he met with victims of Libyan-sponsored IRA terrorism prior to the Government's decision not to release the Shawcross Report.

Answered by Robin Walker - Minister of State (Northern Ireland Office)

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and officials from the Northern Ireland Office regularly meet victims groups and other representatives from civil society to discuss a range of legacy issues.

The Government is committed to publishing details of ministers’ meetings with external organisations on a quarterly basis. Publications for the Northern Ireland Office can be found on gov.uk.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to establish a common understanding of the provisions of the Belfast Agreement with the government of the United States.

Answered by Viscount Younger of Leckie - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

The Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Northern Ireland are grateful for the deep interest in Northern Ireland shown by President Biden and the new United States Government. The steadfast US support for the Belfast (‘Good Friday’) Agreement and the gains of the peace process is undoubtedly one of the key reasons behind its enduring success.

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland engages regularly with stakeholders from across the political spectrum in the United States on matters of importance to the Irish American diaspora, which includes a number of meetings over the past week. That is also the case for a number of colleagues across Cabinet and the British Embassy in Washington.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

What steps his Department is taking to strengthen Northern Ireland’s place in the UK.

Answered by Robin Walker - Minister of State (Northern Ireland Office)

The Government has always stressed the importance of the Union. This year is the centenary of Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom as we know it today, and the Government is committed to levelling up across all four nations of the UK.

The £400m New Deal and the £562m in City and Growth Deals will boost economic growth, with Deals covering the whole of Northern Ireland. This includes the Derry-Londonderry and Strabane City Deal that the Government signed Heads of Terms for in February.

Northern Ireland will also benefit from the Community Renewal Fund, the Levelling Up Fund and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. We will continue working tirelessly for our family of nations going forward.
