<p>Supporting efforts to promote peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland remains
an important part of my Department’s work, though most of the responsibility for policy
and delivery in these areas would normally fall to the devolved administration.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government does, however, continue to make significant contributions. For
example, I was pleased to announce earlier this month that around £300 million of
UK Government funding will be committed to projects to support peace and reconciliation
in Northern Ireland between 2021 and 2027.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, we have provided
substantial additional resources to ensure both Northern Ireland related terrorism
and paramilitary activity are tackled effectively. We remain committed to the implementation
of the Stormont House and Fresh Start Agreements and have consulted on how to best
address Northern Ireland’s past and move forward.</p><p> </p>
