UUP executive to decide policy on joint declaration

The executive council of the Ulster Unionist Party is due to meet in Belfast later today to decide its policy in relation to the Irish-British declaration on implementing the Good Friday Agreement.

The declaration was published earlier this year, shortly before Britain cancelled the North’s Assembly elections. It sets out what measures are needed from all the pro-agreement parties and the two Governments to secure the full implementation of the 1998 peace deal.
