Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what discussions the Government has had with political representatives in the United States on the Government’s proposed legacy plans for Northern Ireland; and what assessment he has made of the implications for any legislative proposals of the views of members of the US Congress on on the Government's legacy proposals.

The UK Government welcomes the deep and ongoing interest of US representatives in Northern Ireland issues.

Since the publication of the Command Paper in July, we have listened carefully to many different views on the Government’s legacy proposals, including from US political representatives.

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has undertaken significant engagement with US stakeholders that form part of our wider engagement, which will inform our next steps.
