Parades

Mr. Gregory Campbell
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what discussions he has had with (a) political representatives and (b) the Parades Commission on the 2009 parades season in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Woodward
The disclosure of the information requested would be prejudicial to the effective conduct of public affairs. In the course of my duties I have discussions with a range of people and organisations to discuss various issues, such as, parading in Northern Ireland.
