Lord Rogan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by Baroness Ashton of Upholland on 21 November (WA 14), why they did not answer those parts of the Question relating to Northern Ireland; and [HL294]

Further to the Written Answer by Baroness Ashton of Upholland on 21 November (WA 14), which Minster is able to answer the query in relation to Northern Ireland. [HL295]

Baroness Ashton of Upholland

I regret that my Answer of 21 November (WA 14) did not say more about the position in Northern Ireland, for which no data are held by the Department for Education and Skills. I am happy to clarify that my noble friend Lord Williams of Mostyn will reply to the noble Lord's Questions as he is the government spokesperson on all matters relating to Northern Ireland.
