asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord President on 27 January (WA 176) concerning the document Ministerial Decision-Making: Interim Procedures, whether the practice of not consulting advisers about decisions for cross-border bodies means that there is no Unionist input; and, if so, whether this is consistent with the spirit of the Belfast agreement of 1998.

We do not agree that the involvement or otherwise of political advisers in decisions relating to cross-border bodies means that there is no unionist input.
