Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what organisations and individuals in north Belfast the independent reviewer of justice and security has met with in an official capacity in each year since 2012.

The Independent Reviewer of the Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Act 2007 travels extensively to Northern Ireland each year and meets with a broad range of interested parties, including representatives from community groups and political parties in Northern Ireland. This year between May and November, the Reviewer has travelled to Northern Ireland on 12 separate occasions.

The Reviewer’s annual reports, which are laid in Parliament, set out the number of visits made by the Reviewer each year and the various organisations and individuals consulted as part of the review process. Reports 5 to 8 cover the period 2012 to 2015 and can be viewed online at www.gov.uk/government/publications. Report 9 covering 2015 to 2016 will be published in the New Year.
