Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Viscount Younger of Leckie on 25 February (HL1520), whether they intend to provide funding to the Northern Ireland Executive to enable it to sustain the Historical Inquiries Unit after its first five years of operation; and if so, at what level.
The Government has committed to making substantial financial contributions to addressing the legacy of the past in Northern Ireland. Planning and implementation will be the subject of engagement with the NI parties in due course.
