Early day motion 1243, tabled 25 March 2013 by Lord Murphy of Torfaen (Labour). Signed by 59 members.

That this House welcomes the 15th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement on 10 April 2013; notes the important contribution that the Agreement has made for peace and security in Northern Ireland and in the UK; regretfully notes the recent surges of terrorist activity have sought to weaken the Agreement; commends the actions of the Police Service of Northern Ireland in addressing these issues; further notes that those who wish to undermine the peace process and democratic politics in Northern Ireland have very little public support; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to continue talks and correspondence with all the main parties in Northern Ireland for the purpose of maintaining and building upon a successful peace agreement.
