answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2017 answer text <p>The responsibility for policing and justice matters in Northern Ireland has been devolved to the Northern Ireland Executive since April 2010. All decisions on prosecutions are taken independently of Government and in accordance with the Code for Prosecutors. While the Northern Ireland Office does not have a full record of prosecutions, I am aware that since November 2015 prosecutions have been brought against three former members of the armed forces for Troubles-related offences. In addition to previous or current prosecutions there are a number of coronial inquests examining cases involving members of the armed forces, while all deaths caused by members of the armed forces are being re-examined by the Legacy Investigations Branch of the PSNI.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 02/02/2017 17:38:43 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
