Written Question

Northern Ireland Government

Wednesday 8th June 2016

Asked by: Rebecca Long Bailey (Labour - Salford)

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what steps the Government is taking to reach an agreement with political parties in Northern Ireland on how to deal with the legacy of Northern Ireland's past.

Answered by Theresa Villiers

This Government has made more progress on this issue than any of our predecessors and we remain committed to establishing the legacy bodies contained in the Stormont House Agreement.

I have continued to meet representatives from Northern Ireland political parties and victims’ groups to try to build the consensus needed to allow legislation to be brought forward.
