I welcome the restoration of the Northern Ireland Executive.

The UK Government is providing £2 billion of financial support to the re-formed Executive as part of the New Decade, New Approach Agreement to transform public services and address Northern Ireland’s unique circumstances.

The responsibility for the Troubles-related incident victims payment scheme sits with the Northern Ireland Executive.
