Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by Lord Rooker on 24 April (WA 304) concerning the funding of the Northern Ireland Bill of Rights Forum, why the budget of the division which sponsored the forum increased by over 100 per cent between 2002–03 and 2003–04. [HL3278]

Lord Rooker

The sponsoring division for the Bill of Rights Forum has responsibility for a wide range of policy areas. Its budget was increased to reflect the changing resource requirements for work within its remit during that period.
