Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment her Department has made of the role played by the voluntary sector in dealing with the legacy of the past.

Voluntary sector organisations provide invaluable support for those whose lives have been changed forever as a result of Northern Ireland’s troubled past.

I pay tribute to their work, which I know from my conversations with victims and their families is deeply appreciated by many in Northern Ireland and beyond.
