I tabled this question after First Stage of the Armed Forces (Statute of Limitations) Bill was taken in the House of Commons. The Bill aims to prevent the prosecution of British soldiers for crimes committed during the conflict in Ireland. It is in direct contravention of the Stormont House Agreement. It is sponsored by two DUP MPs. I understand the British Government has made a statement declaring it will not support the Bill. Has the Minister raised this matter directly with the British Government and will he make a statement on this issue?
