HL Deb 17 April 2002 vol 633 c162WA
Lord Rogan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What representations were made by the Prime Minister to the leadership of Sinn Fein at Weston Park in July 2001 about allowing those individuals exiled from Northern Ireland at the instigation of republican paramilitaries to return home. [HL3287]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

The discussions between the two Governments and the Northern Ireland parties at Weston Park were private. But the Government's view that all those exiled by paramilitary groups should be able to return home without fear is a matter of public record.
