Ms Geraldine McGahey:

I can confirm that we are in regular communication with peers and cross-benchers in the House of Lords regarding the issues that are being discussed in the House in respect of which we feel we have a contribution to make. We have both, separately and collectively, met with the various political parties, including the Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, who is a member of the Labour Party. As most of the committees in Westminster have a cross-party membership, we are very much in communication with many Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs, as well as Conservatives.
