Lord Hay of Ballyore – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Northern Ireland Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Hay of Ballyore on 2015-12-15.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have for a new round of talks with the political parties in Northern Ireland, in order to break the deadlock over legacy issues in Northern Ireland.

Lord Dunlop

The UK Government remains committed to establishing the legacy bodies. The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has met a number of interested stakeholders in recent days, including the Victims Commissioner and the Victims and Survivors Forum. It is her intention to meet with the political parties early in the New Year, along with further engagement with victims groups.
