HC Deb 12 April 2002 vol 383 cc640-1W
Mr. Quentin Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland(i) how many political parties in Northern Ireland have informed him that they (a) support and (b) oppose an amnesty for all terrorist-related offences committed in Northern Ireland before 10 April 1998; and if he will list them; [44323]

(2) what representations he has received from individuals and organisations in Northern Ireland in support of a general amnesty for all terrorist-related offences before 10 April 1998; and if he will list them. [44324]

Dr. John Reid

It is not Government practice to make private discussions or submissions a matter of public record. It would of course be open to the hon. Member to seek the views of the political parties in Northern Ireland directly.
