Britain 'steadfastly' committed to Northern Irish peace accord - May's spokesman

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's government is "steadfastly" committed to the Belfast agreement, Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman said on Tuesday, after several MPs questioned whether the 1998 deal that ended 30 years of conflict in Northern Ireland was still working.

"The government remains absolutely steadfastly committed to the Belfast agreement and is currently working with the parties to get the devolved administration up and running as soon as possible," he told reporters.
