PM: I will try to prevent payout to ex-Sinn Fein leader Adams
The Guardian
|January 16, 2025
Ministers will look at "every conceivable way" to prevent the former Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams being able to receive compensation under government plans to ditch controversial laws dealing with the Troubles period, Keir Starmer has told MPs.
Asked during prime minister's questions about claims that Adams and 400 others interned during the Troubles could receive compensation from the British government, Starmer said he would strive to make sure this did not happen.
Jonathan Caine, a former government adviser to three Northern Ireland secretaries, urged the government to rethink its planned repeal of the Legacy Act of 2023.
