Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government

Whether they consider that they are acting in the spirit of the Belfast Agreement of 1998 in terms of parity of esteem by not making passports available to residents of the Republic of Ireland when the Irish Government make Irish passports available to residents in any part of the United Kingdom. [HL3215]

Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton

I refer the noble Lord to the reply given by the Lord Bassam of Brighton on 9 October 2000(Official Report, col. WA10, Question reference HL3944).
