Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 February 2025

Debate

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

Contribution

However, I remind the House that the proposed draft remedial order is exactly that: a draft. Should the JCHR, on the basis of representations made, recommend that the Government widen the remedial order to include the repeal of Section 45, we will of course consider that carefully. I reiterate that the Government are committed to ensuring that the legacy mechanisms are fully compliant with the ECHR. The remedial order is just the first step in fulfilling that commitment.
