PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Terrorism: Northern Ireland (16 April 2024)

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the deadline for uncompleted inquests and civil litigation into Troubles-era offences under the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 on victims.

Asked by:
Mike Kane (Labour)

From 1 May, victims and families can directly refer their cases to the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery for review and I strongly encourage them to do so.

The Commission will have extensive powers to conduct thorough investigations and will deliver better outcomes for victims and families than the current system.
