Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what discussions he has had with the Foreign Secretary on the publication of the Shawcross Report on UK victims of Qadhafi-sponsored IRA terrorism.

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and other ministers across Government are carefully considering the next steps regarding Mr Shawcross’ report. This has been challenging while the Government’s main effort has focused on our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland is committed to working with the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs and others on a way forward.
