Northern Ireland Troubles Bill: Armed Forces Recruitment and RetentionContribution
The Question refers to the impact of the Troubles Bill. The Government have brought forward the Troubles Bill to deal effectively and legally with the legacy of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The complexity of dealing with this issue is not lost on me. The reality is that the previous Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 did not have unfaltering support, and we are focused on navigating a workable route through this incredibly emotive and difficult topic in a fair and proportionate manner.
