Lord Empey – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Northern Ireland Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Empey on 2016-09-05.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions have taken place with the government of the Irish Republic on the future funding of the six cross-border bodies established following the Belfast Agreement of 1998, in the light of the UK’s decision to leave the EU.

Lord Dunlop

The Government has regular discussions with the Irish Government on a range of issues, including matters arising from the UK’s exit from the European Union.

The UK’s exit from the EU does not change the firm commitment of the UK Government and the people of Northern Ireland to the settlement set out in the Belfast Agreement and its successors and to the institutions they establish.
