answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2019 answer text <p>Work towards bringing forward a victims’ pension is a devolved matter and one of the many reasons why it is so important to have an Executive restored. The Government is aware of how deeply upsetting and frustrating this delay is for those who suffered so much during the Troubles. This is a very complex issue which requires careful consideration, as the Noble Lord will appreciate from his time as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. That is why the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has commissioned advice from the Victims Commissioner in Northern Ireland to ensure progress on this important issue. I am grateful to the Noble Lord for our continuing discussions about this matter.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Duncan of Springbank question first answered 18/02/2019 15:09:07 answering member 4686 label Biography information for Lord Duncan of Springbank
