Proceeding contribution from Lady Hermon (Ulster Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland Bill.
Northern Ireland Bill
I am most grateful to the Secretary of State for giving way. Will he clarify one small point? This new creature—the completely new Assembly that the Bill sets up—could well be christened a talking shop. No matter what resolution or motion is agreed by it, all that it can do before restoration—if such an order is ever made—is to discuss and talk until it is blue in the face. It has no decision-making powers whatsoever. Would the Secretary of State care to confirm that?
