Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether the independent review into the Parades Commission will examine all determinations made by the Commission, not solely the 2026 Drumcree determination; and whether the review will consider procedural and decision-making issues in other parade cases.

As the Secretary of State set out in his Written Ministerial Statement of 2 September, although the terms of reference are still being finalised, the Judge-Led review will concentrate on the Commission's decision-making procedures - placing particular emphasis on ensuring that decisions are evidence-based, transparent, robust and fair in order to eradicate the procedural defects that were identified.

The legal framework of the parading sector, as set out in the Public Processions (Northern Ireland) Act 1998, remains outside the scope of this review.

Further information on the Judge-Led review will be published in due course.
