	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Randerson on 10 July (WA 76), which other parts of government aside from the Northern Ireland Office are being contacted about the missing files on the provision of the Royal Prerogative of Mercy (RPM) in Northern Ireland between 1987 and 1997; which bodies played a role in RPM grants in that period; and which department would now maintain files on such use.
	tabling member printed	Lord Laird
	uin	HL1210
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2014 answer text Officials from the Northern Ireland Office have contacted colleagues in the Department of Justice, The National Archives, the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland and the Royal Household to ascertain if they hold relevant information. During the period 1987-1997 the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland was responsible for recommending the exercise of the RPM to HM the Queen in Northern Ireland cases. At this time, the use of RPM was relatively common, since this pre-dated the establishment of the Criminal Cases Review Commission. It appears that during this period, the use of the RPM was not recorded in a single central list. Individual case records, including information about RPM use, are likely have been destroyed in accordance with proper protocols. The Northern Ireland Office maintains files relating to its use of the RPM, in line with public records legislation and National Archives guidance. Other departments are responsible for the paperwork relating to their own use of the RPM in GB. answering member printed Baroness Randerson question first answered 29/07/2014 13:26:42 answering member 4230 label Biography information for Baroness Randerson

	tabling member printed	Lord Mawhinney
	uin	HL1350
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2014 answer text Northern Ireland Office policy continues to be decided by Ministers. The NIO’s Senior Management Board monitors the delivery of all NIO policy, ensures lines of responsibility and accountability are clear, and checks that safeguards against error are sufficiently robust. As a result of significant changes in responsibilities and priorities, the Northern Ireland Office is a very different department from that which existed prior to devolution. The Department will be reflecting carefully on the conclusions and recommendations of the Hallett report, and considering whether there are further steps that need to be taken within the NIO to strengthen existing processes and ensure that appropriate lessons are learned. This work will be led by the Permanent Secretary and the Senior Management Board. answering member printed Baroness Randerson question first answered 29/07/2014 13:21:03 answering member 4230 label Biography information for Baroness Randerson
