Proceeding contribution from Lord Smith of Clifton (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 July 2005. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Budget (No.2) (Northern Ireland) Order 2005.

Budget (No.2) (Northern Ireland) Order 2005

I thank the Minister for giving way. On that point, it is obviously gratifying to many of us here that the Minister realises that the educational problem with post-11 selection is a very sensitive issue in Northern Ireland. Would it be possible for him to come along with his new innovations that he intimated at the beginning for us to consider such orders—particularly any orders regarding post-primary transfer? Could that be facilitated by the reforms? Of all the issues in the past five or six years, this is probably one of the most sensitive.
