Proceeding contribution from Mark Durkan (Social Democratic & Labour Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland Bill.
Northern Ireland Bill
The Secretary of State intervened to say that the proposal did not have cross-party support. However, the DUP and the UUP seem to support it, and my party clearly supports it, as it is our amendment. The absence of cross-party support seems to be down to Sinn Fein, yet the right hon. Gentleman has said that the outcome of the review of public administration must be that we get seven super-councils. That outcome does not have cross-community support, but is supported only by Sinn Fein. That is a paradox that the Secretary of State cannot explain.
