Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) 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 give the hon. Lady a full assurance that the purpose of the provision is not to anticipate failure in the political peace process outlined by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister. I have given a clear indication that the Government wish to restore the Assembly at the earliest opportunity. Our chosen method was given in the Prime Minister’s statement on 6 April, which was echoed by the statement by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State to the House.
