Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will instruct the Northern Ireland Parades Commission to provide copies on request of representations made to it, and the minutes of its discussions regarding determinations.

Under the Public Processions (NI) Act 1998, determinations are operational matters for the Parades Commission acting independently of Government. The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland plays no role in that process.

The Noble Lord may wish to write to the Parades Commission directly on these matters.
