Dr. Stephen Farry:

Good afternoon. Sir John is very welcome. I join with others in passing on my thanks on behalf of the people of Northern Ireland for the work he did during his time in office as Prime Minister. He laid the foundations, in many respects, for the Good Friday Agreement. I want to explain to him that I am one of the Northern Ireland MPs who regularly attends this committee. It is a strange overlap but I will be seeing Sir John again in a few weeks' time at the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee. I am getting a double hit in some respects but I will try not to repeat myself the second time round.
