HL Deb 13 January 2004 vol 657 cc79-80WA
Lord Kilclooney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

In what way Ministers in the Northern Ireland Executive were answerable for their decisions to the elected Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly prior to its dissolution. [FIL514]

Baroness Amos

Ministers in the Northern Ireland Assembly were answerable to the Assembly by the means set out in the Northern Ireland Act 1998. These arrangements are supplemented by the standing orders and working procedures developed by the Assembly.
