Environment Protection: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what recent engagement he has had with the Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland about the environmental priorities of the Northern Ireland Executive.
Answered by Hilary Benn
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and I have regular discussions with the Northern Ireland Executive, including the First Minister and deputy First Minister, on a wide range of priorities.
The environment is a devolved matter in Northern Ireland and the responsibility of the Executive’s Minister for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs.
