Proceeding contribution from Lord Cormack (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland Bill.
Northern Ireland Bill
Does not the Secretary of State’s intervention underline the fact that the hon. Lady is wise to use the word ““creature””, because the new Assembly is in every sense the creature of the Secretary of the State? It is not legally elected. It is appointed by him. The Presiding Officer is appointed him. Although its Members will be the Members who were elected to the Assembly, the body that we are discussing is not the Assembly.
