Proceeding contribution from Eddie McGrady (Social Democratic & Labour Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill.


Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill

On a point of clarification, the hon. Gentleman said that we were in fantasy land if we believed that the First Minister and Deputy First Minister would give a serious portfolio to the opposition. First, can he define whom the opposition are? Secondly, in parallel, would either a member of the First Minister’s party or the Deputy First Minister’s party—that is, a member of the DUP or Sinn Fein—be acceptable to him as a nominee for the justice Minister’s position?
