Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
What recent assessment she has made of the benefits to Northern Ireland of being part of the UK.
Answered by Karen Bradley
This Government has made clear on many occasions that we will never be neutral in expressing our support for the Union.
Northern Ireland benefits hugely from the Union and my steadfast belief is that Northern Ireland’s future is best served within a stronger United Kingdom.

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
What steps she is taking to support armed forces veterans and police officers who have served in Northern Ireland.
Answered by Shailesh Vara
This Government is clear that it is only due to the unstinting efforts of our Police and Armed Forces that we have peace in Northern Ireland today. We have always acknowledged our ongoing duty of care to our former soldiers which includes providing legal support and representation.
Policing in Northern Ireland is a devolved matter. It is the role of the Police Federation to represent and promote the interests and welfare of the Police.
