asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list the dates on which he has held meetings in Northern Ireland on official matters, at their request, with the hon. Members for Antrim, South (Mr. Molyneaux), Antrim, North (Rev. Ian Paisley), the right hon. Member for Down, South (Mr. Powell), and the hon. Members for Armagh, Mid-Ulster (Mr. Dunlop), Londonderry (Mr. Ross), Belfast, North (Mr. Carson), Belfast, South (Mr. Bradford), and Belfast, West (Mr. Fitt).

No. The fact is that, since I have been Secretary of State, I have met all the Members of Parliament listed, both in Northern Ireland and in London, individually and on many occasions as members of party delegations. Naturally I see party leaders far more often than other Northern Ireland Members of Parliament. Moreover, on many occasions Ministers in my Department meet the Northern Ireland Members of Parliament.
