HC Deb 20 October 2003 vol 411 c422W
Mr. McNamara

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs what measures have been taken in the last 12 months to promote co-operation in matters concerning work and pensions through the east-west dimension of the Good Friday Agreement. [131948]

Mr. Leslie

Strand Three of the Belfast or Good Friday Agreement did not identify work and pensions as one of a number of possible issues for early discussion within the British-Irish Council. The Council is currently working on a number of other priority areas.
