Answer
I have spoken to the Minister for the Cabinet Office, Nick Thomas-Symonds MP, and indicated that the proposed Hillsborough Law Bill should be drafted to extend here. Officials in the two administrations have been working together to achieve that.
I have emphasised that this is conditional upon a Legislative Consent Motion being agreed by the Executive and Assembly.
