That is why we continue to work towards the resumption of stable devolved government. The UK Government will continue to advocate for Northern Ireland’s interests and needs at the heart of government.</p><p>The Belfast Agreement, the 1998 Northern Ireland Act, and all subsequent political agreements are clear that decisions about the Civic Forum are a devolved matter for the Executive and the Assembly.</p> answering member printed Lord Duncan of Springbank question first answered 08/03/2018 12:17:58 answering member 4686 label Biography information for Lord Duncan of Springbank
