Letter to the Clerk from the Northern
Ireland Office
Thank you for your letter of 13 July. I am very sorry
that my letter of 29 June was so delayed but I'm afraid that I
can offer no good explanation: our records show that it left the
Northern Ireland Office on the date it was signed. To be on the
safe side, I will send future correspondence by fax.
I can confirm, as requested, that this letter, taken
together with [the Northern Ireland Office's letter of 23 June]
does constitute the Government's response to the Committee's Third
Report.
