HC Deb 20 December 2000 vol 360 cc194-5W
18. Gillian Merron

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the visit of President Clinton to Northern Ireland. [141771]

Mr. Mandelson

I was delighted that President Clinton visited Northern Ireland on 12 and 13 December. This is the third time that he has done so. Once again the people of Northern Ireland gave him a deservedly warm welcome, in appreciation of the great contribution which he has made to the creation of peace and political stability in that part of our country.
