Text

I thank the First Minister for her answer. You will be aware, of course, that the preservation of documents will be very important for many mothers and the babies who were adopted out of the mother-and-baby homes. There are other documents that need to be preserved and maintained, particularly those held by the Catholic Church, which I mentioned previously in the House. Can the First Minister confirm whether her Department has issued any correspondence to the relevant bodies to make them aware of the law that was passed in the previous mandate regarding the protection of those documents and whether there has been positive correspondence in response to that?
