Proceeding contribution from David Lidington (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland Bill.
Northern Ireland Bill
I hope that the Minister can give us a few assurances. I listened carefully to what was said by the hon. Member for Argyll and Bute (Mr. Reid) and, when I first read the clause, I shared some of his concerns. I hope the Minister will be able to say that the enabling powers given to the Secretary of State are circumscribed by reference to the purposes of the Bill, and also that they would lapse in any case in line with the time limit in the Bill.
