This report covers veterans group demands 'reset' with key details and context.
The Northern Ireland Veterans Movement (NIVM) has congratulated Chris Bryant on his appointment as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, but immediately called for a ‘reset’ in relations with his office.
The group, representing thousands of veterans who served during Operation Banner, criticised the previous approach under Hilary Benn, saying veterans felt ‘unheard and unprotected’.
In a statement, NIVM urged Bryant to drop the Labour-proposed Northern Ireland Troubles Bill, describing it as ‘deeply unpopular among veterans and now facing significant difficulties’.
The veterans body accused the bill of placing ‘disproportionate weight on those representing perpetrators while sidelining those who served’.
NIVM said Bryant now has the opportunity to restore confidence that the government will treat veterans with ‘fairness, dignity, and respect’.
