Earlier this afternoon Ms Villiers said:

We have had a series of detailed and focused meetings around legacy issues and the proposals for new institutions to deal with the past that the Government published yesterday.

These discussions covered a number of important issues that will help to shape the legislation we present to Parliament next month. This has been a useful and intensive week of talks and we will resume on Monday to discuss the impact of continued paramilitary activity.
