Proceeding contribution from Lord Kilclooney (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 November 2006. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Rates (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2006.


Rates (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2006

My Lords, this is one of the worst examples of democracy in Northern Ireland. Why did the Government proceed with the mechanisms for this new system of collecting local rates without parliamentary approval and come up with the excuse that we cannot vote against it because we have gone so far?
