Proceeding contribution from Stephen Pound (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 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 am extremely grateful to the hon. Lady for giving way. I was perturbed to see her name misspelled in yesterday’s Hansard. I can assure her that none of us in the House is in any doubt about who she is, despite the fact that somebody cannot spell. The hon. Lady seems to be raising two separate points in regard to her amendment. On the first substantive point, does she not agree that the joint declaration of 2003 did in fact provide for these alternative models? Is it not a good thing to give freedom to the very people who should be organising the affairs of the people of Northern Ireland, so that they may be allowed to do so?
