HC Deb 15 January 1987 vol 108 c285W
Mr. Maclennan

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what proposals he has for promoting devolved government in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Tom King

The Government have proposed a round table conference on devolution and in advance of this is ready to facilitate informal talks among the parties. There is a wide measure of support for a return of greater responsibility to Belfast from Westminster and we have received a number of representations in support of this.
