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

Northern Ireland Bill

May I remind the hon. Lady that I was the first person to bring the ““creature”” to the attention of the House? I called the Minister to attention and told him straight that it was not the old Assembly, but a new creature. The hon. Lady is not the only person to make that great finding. We all know that the body is not the old Assembly—it is not the old Assembly resurrected, even. It is a new body, designed by certain people who feel that this is the way they should go. We are going to take on board what they say and go away, but we will see how far we get.
