Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what further steps they intend to take implement the Stormont House Agreement of 2015.

In line with our commitment in New Decade, New Approach, we published a Written Ministerial Statement on 18 March setting out a framework for legislation to address the legacy of the past in Northern Ireland.

The wider context in which we are currently working is very challenging and has unsurprisingly had an impact on our planned timetable, as the repercussions of dealing with the Covid-19 crisis have been extensively felt. However, we have begun the engagement process, as promised, and remain fully committed to making progress on this important issue.
