asked the Prime Minister what representations she has received from the leader of the Alliance party in Northern Ireland regarding the conditions attached to that party's support for the Anglo-Irish agreement.

The leader of the Alliance party, Mr. Cushnahan, wrote to me on 26 November 1986 setting out his party's views on a number of matters relating to the Anglo-Irish Agreement. I sent him a full reply on 15 December. The correspondence has been published. Copies of both letters are being placed in the Library.
