All Parties in this house will share my frustration at the lack of progress on a Bill of Rights. During my visits to Northern Ireland I have been struck by the level of interest amongst a broad swathe of civic society in a Bill of Rights for Northern Ireland, which is a very important outstanding provision of the Good Friday Agreement. I believe that many of the contentious issues around culture and identity have rights at their core and progress on a Bill of Rights could provide a framework for the resolution of such issues. I am in ongoing regular contact with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and with the political parties in Northern Ireland on issues related to full implementation of the Agreement, including a Bill of Rights, and will remain so.
