Northern Ireland Troubles Bill: Armed Forces Recruitment and RetentionContribution
The Government owe all those who served in defence of peace during the Troubles an immense debt of gratitude. We understand the immense psychological toll that legacy proceedings can have, and the concerns of the veterans community. We are working closely with representatives of veterans and the Armed Forces community to understand their concerns and ensure that the Bill meets their needs. But to link recruitment and retention with the Northern Ireland legacy Bill is incorrect”.
