HL Deb 04 March 2003 vol 645 c97WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Privy Seal on 6 February (WA42) concerning equality, what is the position as regards functions which cannot be partitioned between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. [HL1632]

The Lord Privy Seal (Lord Williams of Mostyn)

The functions of North/South implementation bodies are not "partitioned". Equality schemes for the bodies do not apply to the exercise of their functions outside Northern Ireland.
