Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 April 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland
My Lords, there was one question of substance in the first two seconds: it was on deadlines. The deadline is 24 November. It will be in the Bill and it will not be shifted. If devolution is not back by then, it will not be back in the foreseeable future. Do not assume that the status quo of existing direct rule will continue, because the present ministries need looking at. That is the reality; it is a deadline that will be stuck to.
