Recommendation 2

Too many key questions remain regarding how the proposed new institution would operate and function. It is deeply worrying that since 18 March, when the Government announced its new legacy proposals, it has been unable to provide any further policy detail. While covid-19 has presented a challenge across government, policy development has continued across Whitehall, and the Northern Ireland Office has digital platforms to facilitate its work. The information lacuna is especially regrettable given the sensitivity of the issues and the period since many of the events occurred. Delay and uncertainty perpetuate an unacceptable situation that has already gone on too long. (Paragraph 6) Stormont House Agreement
