When the Minister said in a press conference on 14 February last that it "is essential that none of the human rights protections or frameworks underpinned by the Good Friday Agreement are disturbed by any changes that are consequent from a Brexit agreement", does that include the Northern Ireland Act 1998 and all the human rights and constitutional protections therein which give effect to the Good Friday Agreement? Will he also confirm, given the Agreement is inviolable as part of a UN recognised international treaty, what action he and the Government have taken, as co-guarantor, to ensure the delivery of the outstanding human rights protections of that Agreement, including the bill of rights?
