Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland Bill.

Northern Ireland Bill

I understand why the hon. Lady is worried about the measure. Although I could have waited until my reply to make this point, it is important that I do so now. The arrangements are exactly the same—I think that the hon. Member for Belfast, East (Mr. Robinson) was alluding to this point—as those that applied in 1998 before we had a fully-fledged Assembly and restoration. All that I am doing is reproducing those arrangements, and I think that it is entirely appropriate to do so.
