European Convention on Human Rights: Belfast Agreement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of leaving the ECHR on the Good Friday Agreement.
Answered by Hilary Benn
The ECHR underpins key international agreements on trade, security and migration, as well as the Good Friday Agreement. The UK Government has no plans to leave the ECHR, and will not therefore speculate on what such a policy would entail.
