Debate
Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 (Remedial) Order 2024Contribution
There are a number of areas in which incompatibility with legal obligations has been found which are not covered by the draft remedial order. The Government have said that they will legislate but have reneged on their manifesto commitment to repeal the Act. There is no obvious formal process of consultation under way. It is a real mess—a mess not of this Government’s making initially, I concede, but His Majesty’s Government will have to make it good.
