Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment the Northern Ireland Office has made of the performance to date of Charter N.I; and if he will make a statement.
The Northern Ireland Office provides no financial support to Charter NI and has no involvement in any of its projects. I am therefore not in a position to make any assessment of its performance.
Oversight of the performance of Charter NI is a matter for those Northern Ireland Executive departments, and other bodies/organisations, which provide them with funding.
