It no longer matters to Turing, but it still sends a message to the country that how he and others were treated was wrong, which is a good thing. Whether a pardon is needed after an official apology was already issued is debatable, as they both send the same message, personally I'd like to see it passed but won't really care much if it doesn't. It's very different to "converting" dead people to your religion, as this act would have been offensive to them if done when they were alive. However Turing would not have been offended if pardoned while alive.
