HC Deb 10 April 1974 vol 872 c231W
Mr. McCusker

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what action the Chief Executive Officer in Northern Ireland has taken to nominate Ministers-designate to the Council of Ministers of the proposed Council of Ireland.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

The Council of Ireland has not yet been set up. It is entirely a matter for the chief executive member and his colleagues on the Northern Ireland Executive to nominate their representatives but I understand that no such nominations have been made.
