Select Committee on Northern Ireland Affairs Minutes of Evidence

Supplementary memorandum submitted by the Rt Hon Adam Ingram JP MP

This memorandum provides information supplementary to that given in oral evidence on 14 March 2001.

Question 585

Mr McCabe asked for a list of those bodies which made submissions to the NIO's review of the Parades Commission. That list is attached. It includes all those who made their views known to the review team, whether by written submission or in the course of an interview.

Question 589

Question 602

Mr McGrady asked if additional resources, either in terms of funding or personnel, were given to the Commission to enable it to develop its role. I replied in the negative and, strictly speaking, that was correct. However, the Commission sought approval to employ two additional members of staff whose costs would be met from within the existing budget. The NIO raised no objection to this and we expect those staff to be appointed shortly.
