Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how many meetings he has held with victims' groups as part of the Government's engagement on legacy proposals since his Statement of 18 March 2020, Official Report, col 22WS.

Since March, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and officials have had a number of engagements with victims’ groups on legacy issues. Details about ministers’ meetings with external organisations, including victims’ groups, are published on a quarterly basis and can be found on Gov.uk.

While the challenging circumstances presented by the ongoing Covid-19 situation has affected progress, the government remains committed to making progress on legacy issues and the Secretary of State fully recognises the importance of working with all parts of the community in Northern Ireland, including victims’ groups, as part of this process.
