The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has made it very clear that she is determined to see redress for victims of historical institutional abuse as soon as possible. The UK Government has made clear that legislation will be introduced at Westminster by the end of the year, should a restored NI Executive not be in place.<\/p>

<\/p>

Currently, officials in the Northern Ireland Executive Office are working with the Northern Ireland Office of the Legislative Counsel to redraft the legislation for a redress scheme in line with the NI parties\u2019 recommendations.<\/p>

<\/p>

When the legislation has been revised and received, the Secretary of State will consider the best way forward and the next steps as a matter of urgency.<\/p>

The Northern Ireland Office takes its responsibilities under Fair Employment legislation very seriously and seeks to ensure a good and harmonious working environment for all staff; the requirements of which are set out in the 1989 Fair Employment Code of Practice.<\/p>

In line with the Equality Commission of Northern Ireland\u2019s Guide, Promoting a Good and Harmonious Working Environment, the Northern Ireland Office is sensitive to the display of \u201cposters, pictures, portraits or other displays that are more closely associated with one or other of the communities\u201d and will consider any concerns raised by employees. I can confirm that the department takes steps to ensure no such images are displayed in Stormont House<\/p>

Information on employees\u2019 personal data is sensitive, in order to comply with DPA requirements, and so I am unable to comment further. In line with the rest of the Civil Service, our staff need to be able to raise concerns in a confidential manner and without fear of repercussions.<\/p>

We have discussed the procurement of steel with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, which has asked all Government departments to consider guidance on steel procurement and to notify of any upcoming opportunities for industry.<\/p>

<\/p>

More broadly, the Government is committed to supporting the steel sector to realise the broader commercial opportunities that are open to it, which could be worth an additional £3.8 billion a year by 2030. We are establishing the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund \u2013 backed by up to £315m of investment \u2013 to help businesses with high energy use (including steel companies) to cut their bills and transition UK industry to a low carbon future.
