Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill.


Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill

It is not something that I would want to do except with consent. The hon. Gentleman makes a reasonable point. We are not considering some diktat by the Secretary of State. It is crucial that that does not happen in the timing of elections, of all things. In practical terms, it is sensible to introduce the provision, whether or not it is exercised.
