Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to set out a timetable to address legacy issues in relation to the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

As outlined in the Command Paper of July 2021, the Government remains committed to addressing the legacy of Northern Ireland’s past by bringing forward legislation that focuses on information recovery and reconciliation.

The Government was clear when we published the Command Paper that we would engage with a wide range of stakeholders on our proposals before introducing any legislation, and that is what we are doing. This is a complex and sensitive issue and it is important that we take the time to get this right.

The Government continues to engage and reflect on what we have heard, and we are considering our next steps carefully.
