Belfast Agreement: Anniversaries

Written question asked by Lady Hermon (Independent (affiliation)) on Tuesday, 5 March 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 5 March 2019 (named day). It was answered by Karen Bradley (Conservative) on Tuesday, 5 March 2019 on behalf of the Northern Ireland Office.

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, pursuant to the oral contribution of the Minister for the Cabinet Office of 27 February 2019, Official Report column 367, what preparations the Government is making to mark the 21st anniversary of the signing of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement; and if she will make a statement.

Answer

The Government does not have any current plans to mark the day with any official commemorations. I shall, however, be using the occasion to remind people of the huge progress that has been made in Northern Ireland over the past 21 years as a result of the Belfast Agreement and its successors, and to stress the need for the earliest possible restoration of devolved government.
