Written Question
Friday 16th January 2026
Asked by:
Stuart Anderson (Conservative - South Shropshire)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of reviewing the confidentiality agreements relating to RBS Global Restructuring Group.
Answered by Lucy Rigby
- Economic Secretary (HM Treasury)
The Government currently has no plans to review the confidentiality agreements relating to RBS Global Restructuring Group.
The Government has been clear that the inappropriate treatment of companies by RBS GRG was unacceptable. RBS rightly apologised for these mistakes and set up a scheme to compensate victims. The complaints process for customers in scope, as undertaken by Sir William Blackburne, is concluded, and the FCA published its final report in relation to RBS GRG in 2019.

Question
to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has received representations on the potential impact of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 on military operational capability.
Answered by Al Carns
- Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for Veterans)
The Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 is being repealed and replaced by new legislation. The Northern Ireland Troubles Bill will deliver new safeguards specifically designed for veterans who served in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. The Ministry of Defence continues to consult with veterans and the wider Armed Forces community.
