Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what recent steps the Government has taken to ensure the maintenance of the Good Friday Agreement in negotiations for the UK leaving the EU.

The principles set out in the Joint Report issued by the UK and the EU reinforce the UK Government’s consistent objectives on the Belfast Agreement. From the Prime Minister’s Article 50 letter through to our August position paper of last year and the Prime Minister’s speech at Mansion House, all make clear our steadfast commitment to protecting the Belfast (‘Good Friday’) Agreement in all its parts.
