Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what support they provide to victims of Northern Ireland related acts of terrorism committed in Great Britain.

The Government is committed to making sure that victims of terrorism (including bereaved families) receive the best possible support both in the immediate aftermath, and in the long term. Under the EU Victims’ Directive, victims of Northern Ireland related acts of terrorism who reside in the UK are entitled to access support services in accordance with their needs.

The Government fund a range of services to provide support to help victims of terrorism cope, and as far as possible recover. We have also developed gov.uk webpages (see victimsofterrorism.campaign.gov.uk) to provide comprehensive advice to victims and to signpost them to support services in the UK.

We also work closely with local authorities to highlight the support available. This support remains available to victims for as long as needed and regardless of when the attack happened.
