Proceeding contribution from Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 October 2006. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Victims and Survivors (Northern Ireland) Order 2006.


Victims and Survivors (Northern Ireland) (Order) 2006

The point that I want to make concerns the fact that here we have an Order in Council, coming forward at this stage. That is fine; I recognise that there is some urgency. But when the question is asked about a work plan, it appears that no serious thought has been given to why we are bringing forward this legislation in this form—an Order in Council—at this time, without having anything substantive that the Government, if things do not happen and we do not get an Assembly, or a new Assembly can build on.
