77. This Government remains absolutely committed to the provisions contained in Part 4 of the Legacy Act regarding oral history, memorialisation, and academic themes and patterns, which are not being repealed. 78. While our focus has been on addressing the Legacy Act’s problems and delivering for victims and their families, I am pleased to have seen progress on two related projects that seek to provide greater access to UK archival material on the Troubles. This includes an independently led official history, and a digitisation project to make records held at The National Archives freely available online. Both of these projects support reconciliation by helping understanding of the past.
