"This paper provides information on the British Irish Inter-parliamentary Body, a forum for inter-parliamentary co-operation, established in 1990. Initially the Body was established as a forum for the exchange of views between the Westminster Parliament and the Irish Parliament, the Oireachtas. However it was subsequently expanded to include representatives of the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, Northern Ireland Assembly, the Tynwald (the Isle of Man Parliament), and the States of Jersey and Guernsey. MSPs received membership of the Body in 2001. This paper describes the history of the British Irish Inter-parliamentary Body, its structure, and how it operates. It also outlines the areas on which the Body has focussed on in discussions and looks at contributions made by MSPs. The role of the British-Irish Council, the forum for debate at Executive level, is also briefly outlined."
