Proceeding contribution from Peter Robinson (Democratic Unionist Party) 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 shall not attempt, in the 30 seconds that remain, to wind up such a wide-ranging debate. I shall simply say that the Minister has been careless with statistics. The figures that he produced were inaccurate. Before the introduction of the 50:50 policy, the numbers had already increased from nearly 9 per cent. to well into double figures. The 50:50 policy therefore cannot take the credit for the increase. It being Six o’clock, The Chairman, put the Question already proposed from the Chair, pursuant to order [19 April]. The Committee proceeded to a Division.
