HC Deb 01 March 1990 vol 168 c310W
43. Mr. Gill

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what progress he has made in consultations regarding devolution.

Mr. Brooke

Since the answer I gave to my hon. Friend on 1 February, I and my colleagues have had a number of exploratory meetings to discuss the scope for political progress within Northern Ireland, both with the leadership of the main constitutional political parties and with the Irish Government. I expect to have further such meetings.
