Northern Ireland Executive Committee: Memorandum of Understanding

HL Deb 25 July 2000 vol 616 c39WA

Baroness Lockwood

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Northern Ireland Executive Committee intends to become a party to the Memorandum of Understanding. [HL3562]

The Lord Chancellor

The Northern Ireland Executive Committee has recently decided to become a party to the Memorandum of Understanding originally agreed by the UK Government, Scottish Ministers and the Cabinet of the National Assembly for Wales last year. I am therefore publishing today (as Cm 4806) the text of the Memorandum of Understanding and the supplementary agreements as agreed by all four administrations. The paper will also be made available on the Cabinet Office Internet site shortly.
