Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward will face questions in the House of Commons today about the continuing cost of historical inquiries into events during the Troubles.
In his first Question Time at Westminster since taking over from Peter Hain as Northern Ireland Secretary in the Cabinet reshuffle last month, Mr Woodward will face an array of questions on the cost of inquiries and also on the policing budget for the province.
The findings of the Saville inquiry into the deaths of 13 civilians at the hands of the paratroopers during a civil rights march on Bloody Sunday in 1972 are still to be published.
Inquiries have also been set up into the murders of lawyer Rosemary Nelson, leading loyalist Billy Wright and also Robert Hamill.
However concerns have been expressed in some quarters about the cost of these inquiries and the setting up of a specialist unit of police officers to look into unsolved murders.
Mr Woodward will also be asked today about what discussions he has had with the new power sharing government at Stormont on the future of the Maze Prison site.
Stormont Culture Minister Edwin Poots yesterday briefed his Northern Ireland Assembly scrutiny Committee about a proposal to build a 35,000-seater multi-sports stadium on the site of the former prison.
However unionists have expressed concern about a proposed conflict transformation centre which could retain one of the H-blocks which housed some of Northern Ireland's most notorious paramilitaries and a hospital wing where 10 republican hunger strikers starved to death in 1981.
Stormont Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness last night moved to allay unionist fears that the conflict transformation centre could become a shrine to terrorism.
