Proceeding contribution from Peter Robinson (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
The statement is covered by privilege, whether it is heard directly, heard through transmission or read in newspapers. If that is not the case, the Secretary of State ought to tell us, or at least tell the media, but according to my everyday understanding of the language, the statement is covered irrespective of whether it is repeated by a Member or by the press, and therefore no action can be taken against either.
