§ Lord Lairdasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether their expectation, on signing the Belfast agreement, was that the Government of Eire would undertake their tasks with respect to the agreement; how these obligations are monitored; and what steps will be taken if there is a failure to comply. [HL693]
§ Baroness AmosThe Government intend to observe all of their commitments under the Belfast agreement and have always believed that the Irish Government would do so as well. All aspects of the agreement are kept under close review. We have no grounds to expect any failure on the part of the Irish Government in meeting their obligations.
