HL Deb 11 June 2003 vol 649 c41WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the equality agenda in Northern Ireland; who drafted it; who agreed it; and where may it be located. [HL2629]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

The equality agenda in Northern Ireland flows from the Belfast agreement, which was negotiated and agreed by the majority of political parties in Northern Ireland and endorsed in referendums on both sides of the border.
