Northern Ireland parties draft response to Secretary of State on historical abuse

The BBC reports the parties have drafted a letter saying victims of historical institutional abuse should receive £10,000 instead of the proposed £7,500. That relatives of those deceased should received 100% of an award for compensation. And an application for those deceased should be dated 1953 as opposed to 2011. The letter is expected to be approved by the parties and then sent to Karen Bradley.
