To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how many security passes giving access to his Department's premises have been issued in each year since 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how many security passes giving access to his Department's premises have been issued in each year since 2010.
The Northern Ireland Office (NIO) does not record the total number of security passes it issues and is therefore not able to provide this information. This is as a result of other departments being provided with passes to allow access to their facilities on site outside NIO office hours including access to IT servers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether legal advice has been sought by the Government to confirm the territorial jurisdiction of (a) Lough Foyle and (b) Carlingford Lough before negotiations begin on the UK leaving the EU; and if he will make a statement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, whether legal advice has been sought by the Government to confirm the territorial jurisdiction of (a) Lough Foyle and (b) Carlingford Lough before negotiations begin on the UK leaving the EU; and if he will make a statement.
The Government’s position on Lough Foyle and Carlingford Lough has not changed. The regulation of activities in the Loughs is the responsibility of the Loughs Agency, a cross-border body established under the Belfast Agreement of 1998. We remain fully committed to these arrangements and continue to work closely with the Irish Government over improvements to the management of the Loughs.
Like the Irish Government, we do not anticipate these issues forming part of the negotiations over the UK’s exit from the European Union.

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what progress has been made by the Government on establishing the number of victims of IRA-Gaddifi sponsored violence in Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement.

I have every sympathy for the victims of terrorist violence, for which there could be no possible justification.
A Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme already operates in Great Britain. Responsibility for compensation of victims of terrorism in Northern Ireland is devolved to the Northern Ireland Executive, which oversees the Northern Ireland Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme.
The Government has made clear to the Libyan authorities that resolution of legacy issues remains a priority for us. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs raised the issue of compensation in his meetings with Prime Minister Serraj and Deputy Prime Minister Maiteq during the London Ministerial on 31 October 2016. The Government will continue to encourage the Libyan authorities to engage with UK victims, and their legal representatives, seeking redress, including those seeking compensation.
The Government position remains that it is not able to negotiate with the Libyan government on individual compensation claims, as these are not government-to-government claims. These are private matters best pursued directly with the Libyan authorities. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office provides facilitation support to victims, their representatives and campaign groups, where it has been requested and is appropriate.
