The Government stands by its position on Article 2 which was set out in the Safeguarding the Union Command Paper. Article 2 of the Framework does not apply EU law or ECJ jurisdiction, and only applies in respect of rights set out in the relevant chapter of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement and a diminution of those rights which arises as a result of the UK\u2019s withdrawal from the EU. We will be challenging the High Court's determination of the Article 2 issues to that end.<\/p>

The Government has always been clear that the purpose of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy & Reconciliation) Bill is to deliver better outcomes for those most affected by the Troubles, including victims and their families, providing more information to families in a more timely manner than through the existing mechanisms.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has always acknowledged the concerns expressed by interested parties about the legislation and been consistent in its commitment to strengthen the Bill in order to alleviate many such concerns. That is why, ahead of the Report Stage in the House of Lords, we tabled amendments relating to the conduct of reviews, compliance with international obligations, the independence of the Commission, and strengthening the provisions regarding conditional immunity.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government recognises that the Bill remains challenging for many, but continues to believe that it represents the best way forward for those most affected by the Troubles, and to help Northern Ireland look forward.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4581", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Caine"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Caine"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-07-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-07-04T14:34:57.803Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "21"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Northern Ireland"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Northern Ireland"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-06-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the views of victims\u2019 groups and families on the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1388", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Dodds of Duncairn"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Dodds of Duncairn"} ], "uin" : "HL8917"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1550373", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Northern Ireland Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1550373/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
