Anglo-Irish Agreement

HC Deb 28 January 1988 vol 126 c354W

15. Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he next plans to meet the Tanaiste, Mr. Lenihan, to discuss the Anglo-Irish Agreement.

Mr. Tom King

I hope to do so very shortly.

Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the progress of the Anglo-Irish Agreement.

Mr. Tom King

Worthwhile progress continues under the agreement. In particular, priority is being given to enhancing security co-operation with the Republic of Ireland. This has obvious potential to benefit all sections of the community in Northern Ireland.
