Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had, and when, with the government of the Republic of Ireland concerning parades by members of the Orange Order in Belfast this summer.
This question was answered on 16th July 2014
The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has regular meetings with Irish Government Ministers which cover a range of issues, and general matters relating to parading occasionally feature in these discussions. Determinations in respect of all parades are a matter for the Parades Commission which operates independently of the Government.
