Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland Bill.


Northern Ireland Bill

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that, if he is at all worried about getting permission from the decision makers, he could phone Sinn Fein and get its permission, because it would probably also like to have those powers? Whatever other differences there are, I have little doubt that Sinn Fein could see the benefits of having those powers bestowed on this interim Assembly.
