I read the agreement yesterday and I am due to speak to the Prime Minister, Mrs. Theresa May, later this evening about this matter and the ongoing talks in Belfast. The agreement states the British Government's ongoing commitment to the Belfast Agreement but also states that the British Conservative Party is a unionist party, as if anyone did not know already. Just as that party asserts its commitment to the union, we and our parties assert our aspiration to Irish unity but, as regards the Belfast Agreement, we agree to act impartially and as co-guarantors.
