29 Apr 2024
Strengthening Northern Ireland’s voice in the context of the Windsor Framework Windsor Framework Sub-Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The Sub-Committee on the Windsor Framework is conducting a new inquiry on strengthening Northern Ireland’s voice in the context of the Windsor Framework. The Windsor Framework now includes a complex institutional architecture, which has evolved over a number of years and has been added to by the Government’s recent announcements in the command paper ‘Safeguarding the Union’. The Committee’s new inquiry hopes to bring clarity to the various mechanisms and bodies established under the Windsor Framework and explore how the voices of Northern Ireland stakeholders, policymakers and politicians can be heard most effectively. |
