HC Deb 27 October 1994 vol 248 c787W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what steps he is taking towards the introduction of a Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ancram

The Government have long recognised that the protection of human rights will be considered in the context of talks necessary to create a comprehensive political settlement. It would be wrong to pre-empt the outcome of those talks.
