Business of the House

I join the hon. Gentleman in praising the memory of George Best; indeed, I used to watch him play for one of the Edinburgh teams in the 1980s, and he set the stadium alight with his dazzling skills. I will ensure that the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland is aware of the hon. Gentleman’s strong feelings on behalf of his constituents and others on the question of a national stadium.
