Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nick Smith and Theresa Villiers

Wednesday 2nd April 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mrs Villiers]

The hon. Gentleman is right. Resolving these issues or finding an agreed way forward will enable further efforts and energies to be concentrated on pensions, the economy and so on. There is a real opportunity here. A lot of good work was done under the auspices of Richard Haass and Meghan O’Sullivan, not least by the right hon. Member for Lagan Valley (Mr Donaldson) as part of the negotiations under Richard Haass.

[Nick Smith (Blaenau Gwent) (Lab)]

11. What assessment has the Secretary of State made of any need for legislation to implement any possible agreement on Haass?
