Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill

I appreciate the right hon. Gentleman’s comments about the Royal Irish Regiment. We have been meeting regularly with many of the soldiers, and I am aware of their concerns, but they are now being told that it could be January next year before they are given an indication of what the package is likely to be and how much compensation they will receive. Will the Secretary of State, in his ongoing discussions with the Secretary of State for Defence, press the point that there is a need to remove the uncertainty over their future, as we will be doing?
