HM Government Acknowledged
The Government will continue to take these contributions and the work of the Committee into account as we move forward in delivering on our commitment to deal with the legacy of the Troubles in a way which focuses on reconciliation, delivers for victims, and ends the cycle of re-investigations that has failed victims and veterans alike.
