‘Drop the hated Troubles Bill’: Veterans group demands reset with new NI Secretary Chris Bryant

This report covers ‘drop hated troubles bill’: 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, urging him to scrap the ‘deeply unpopular’ Troubles Bill.

In a statement, the group—which represents 16 veterans’ organizations and thousands of former soldiers who served during Operation Banner—said it had felt unheard and unprotected under the tenure of Hilary Benn.

NIVM criticised the Labour-produced Northern Ireland Troubles Bill, currently before Parliament, as emblematic of a disconnect with veterans. ‘It places disproportionate weight on those representing perpetrators while sidelining those who served,’ the group stated.

‘Chris Bryant now has an opportunity to reset the relationship between the Office of the Secretary of State and the veteran community. He can restore confidence that this government will treat veterans with fairness, dignity, and respect—rather than continuing policies that empower those who represent terrorist organisations.’

The group urged Bryant to drop the ‘hated’ Bill and work with all legacy stakeholders to build a credible, balanced, and just framework.
