Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government when they will legislate to provide a pension for severely injured victims of The Troubles in Northern Ireland represented by the Wave Trauma Action Group.

This is an important issue which the UK Government takes seriously. We received advice from the Victims Commissioner on Friday 31 May 2019 - the completion of this advice represents an important step forward. We are carefully considering that advice and possible next steps, which we aim to set out shortly.
