Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023
Asked by: Desmond Swayne (Conservative - New Forest West) Wednesday 2nd April 2025 Question to the Northern Ireland Office: What steps he is taking to replace the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023. Answered by Hilary Benn - Secretary of State for Northern Ireland The approach taken by the previous Government to address legacy was wrong. It caused immense pain to victims and survivors, and in many respects has been found to be unlawful.
In December, I laid a proposal for a draft Remedial Order in Parliament, to remedy the human rights deficiencies in the Act identified by the courts, and when parliamentary time allows, I will introduce primary legislation to implement other measures to ensure that the Government fulfils the commitments it has made.
