Proceeding contribution from Jeffrey M Donaldson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 31 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill.


Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill

The Minister referred a moment ago to the need for even-handedness and sensitivity. He might not be aware that, tomorrow evening in New York, the National Committee on American Foreign Policy is hosting a dinner at which it plans to give a peace award to Gerry Adams for his work with the IRA. Will the Minister assure me that no representative of Her Majesty’s Government will attend that event? Were they to do so, it would demonstrate insensitivity and a lack of even-handedness.
