asked Her Majesty's Government:

How they have supported the enhancement and development of Ulster-Scots language, heritage and culture as promised in Annex B, point six of their statement entitled Agreement at St Andrews issued in 2006. [HL2991]

The Government introduced the Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Act 2006, Section 15 of which amends the Northern Ireland Act 1998 to put the Executive Committee under a duty to adopt a strategy setting out how it proposes to enhance and develop the Ulster-Scots language, heritage and culture.

Following the restoration of the Northern Ireland Assembly on 8 May 2007, this is now a matter for the devolved Administration.
