Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have refreshed any training materials or programmes on the Belfast Agreement and successor agreements for the Home Civil Service and the Diplomatic Service to reflect (1) commitments made in Safeguarding the Union (CP 1021) and (2) the fact that Strand One of the Belfast Agreement relates to Northern Ireland-only institutions.

I can confirm that the Government has refreshed training programmes and materials for both the Home Civil Service and the Diplomatic Service on the Good Friday Agreement and successor agreements, as set out in the Safeguarding the Union command paper. The new training materials are currently being rolled out across the UK Government.
