Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 February 2025

Debate

Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 (Remedial) Order 2024

Contribution

To be clear, what is before us is a draft proposed remedial order. I consider our debate this evening as a core part of the process of engagement for what happens next in terms of legacy, so I thank all noble Lords for their participation. I reassure noble Lords that much of what has been discussed this evening is out of the scope of the remedial order and will need to be addressed in primary legislation, which will be brought forward when parliamentary time allows—not to disappoint the noble Baroness, Lady Suttie. We need to be realistic. Even today demonstrates quite how challenging it is to get government time, but we will bring this forward when that allows.
