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, the victims commissioner does exist. The appointment was announced towards the end of last year—it was Mrs McDougall, I think. There is not an issue here. The victims commissioner is not dependent on this Bill. This was not a quid pro quo, it was another strand of the changes. The victims commissioner has been appointed and no budget that is set aside for the victims commissioner will be affected by the withdrawal of this Bill. I can give an absolute assurance on that.
