Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment he has made of the work of the Parades Commission of Northern Ireland on normalising public processions.
The Parades Commission continues to have the full support of the UK Government in fulfilling its role on the adjudication of Public Processions in Northern Ireland.
The Commission, which is the lawfully constituted body for making determinations on parading in Northern Ireland, operates independently of the Government in line with the provisions contained in the Public Processions (NI) Act 1998.
