Written Question

European Convention on Human Rights: Belfast Agreement

Tuesday 28th October 2025

Asked by: Charlotte Cane (Liberal Democrat - Ely and East Cambridgeshire)

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of leaving the ECHR on the Good Friday Agreement.

Answered by Hilary Benn - Secretary of State for Northern Ireland

The ECHR underpins key international agreements on trade, security and migration, as well as the Good Friday Agreement. The UK Government has no plans to leave the ECHR, and will not therefore speculate on what such a policy would entail.
