Proceeding contribution from David Anderson (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

I apologise to Members for having had to leave the Chamber for a short time earlier. Everyone in the House should welcome the Bill and if there is a real argument here, it is that the Bill is long overdue. The blame for that can be laid at many doors, and we have heard some of that already tonight. We have spent far too many years being involved in the blame game. The time is right to move forward and those who can shift the roadblocks to peace and progress should get on with the job now.
