Prosecutions in such circumstances would not be considered to be in the public interest, except in “exceptional circumstances”. The presumption measure would not apply to historical alleged offences in Northern Ireland. The Secretary of State for Defence will continue to work with the Northern Ireland Secretary on the proposals for addressing Northern Ireland legacy issues. The MOD provides veterans, including those who served in Northern Ireland, who are subject to investigation and potential prosecution with legal, welfare and pastoral support.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster grouped question UIN 252557 252559 question first answered 17/05/2019 13:46:38 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

Furthermore, we are clear that any future UK financial contribution to the EU would require eligibility for UK entities to bid for and implement programmes where the UK funds. We regularly consult NGOs regarding their concerns to ensure we can support our world-class development sector. I therefore urge the Hon. Gentleman to support the Withdrawal Agreement.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 20/05/2019 16:07:24 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
