Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill.
Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill
I very much agree with the hon. Lady that the use of Orders in Council is being increasingly abused by the Government. Does she agree that our cynicism about that method directly results from the Government’s recent behaviour in simply pushing through highly significant and profoundly important legislation after a two-hour debate on the Floor of the House? As a result, very few hon. Members have confidence in extending that methodology any further.
