Cameron visiting Northern Ireland
Published: 20th May 2010 11:07:54
Prime Minister David Cameron is making his first visit to Northern Ireland since taking office.
He will be meeting First Minister Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness during his trip.
Mr Cameron became prime minister last week when he entered into coalition government with the Liberal Democrats.
It is the first time the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats have had a power-sharing deal at Westminster.
Meanwhile, the newly published detailed agreement between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives reiterates the government's intention to re-examine corporation tax in Northern Ireland.
The agreement says: "We will continue to promote peace, stability and economic prosperity in Northern Ireland, standing firmly behind the agreements negotiated and institutions they establish.
"We will work to bring Northern Ireland back into the mainstream of UK politics, including producing a government paper examining potential mechanisms for changing the corporation tax rate in Northern Ireland."
