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

The Secretary of State used the words ““taken into account””. What precisely do they mean? I revert to the review of public administration, on which the three elected participating parties are of one mind. They believe that the numbers will lead to what they call Balkanisation, polarisation and so on and that Northern Ireland should be differently configured for local government. The right hon. Gentleman says that if the Assembly takes that view, it will be ““taken into account””. Does that mean that it will be reflected in a change?
