Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 January 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland
My Lords, I have repeated a Statement made by the Secretary of State. That is it. The Northern Ireland (Offences) Bill dealt with specific issues about on-the-runs. The noble Lord is quite right: it was not part of the Good Friday agreement, as people have wrongly claimed, but it was not a surprise. A public document was published in 2003 which set out what would happen if a sequence of events occurred—that is, the abandonment of the war by the IRA. I cannot go beyond that, because that is what this issue is about.
