19. Mr. Soley

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what further discussions he has had with the Irish Government on the future of Northern Ireland.

Sir Patrick Mayhew

I most recently met Mr. Dick Spring, the Irish Foreign Minister and Tanaiste, at the meeting of the Anglo-Irish conference on 3 November. We noted the support of the Prime Minister and Taoiseach for the objectives of the political talks process and expressed our determination to pursue those objectives within the framework of the statement of 26 March 1991.
