Proceeding contribution from Lord Glentoran (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill.


Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Bill

My Lords, before the Minister sits down and my noble friends get settled, will he try to persuade his colleagues, the Secretary of State and No. 10 Downing Street, to improve the spin so that, when we read the press about Northern Ireland and the Government’s activities, we get more confident? We are still reading a negative press from the Unionist/Conservative point of view that the Government are doing deals all the time with Sinn Fein. I am not charging the Government with that at this time, but I am charging them with failing to communicate the real messages, if they are as I hope they might be, to the population.
