HL Deb 12 November 2003 vol 654 c198WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord President on 11 October (WA 95) which indicated that since the end of July 2000 21 per cent of all applications for judicial review against the United Kingdom departments involved the Northern Ireland Administration, what steps they are taking to reduce the proportion to three per cent, which would be similar to the population of Northern Ireland as part of the United Kingdom. [HL4949]

Baroness Amos

The Answer given to the noble Lord on 13 October 2003(WA 95), contained figures for applications for judicial review in Northern Ireland only, and so the comparative analysis which the noble Lord makes is therefore not valid.
