Proceeding contribution from Lady Hermon (Ulster Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Bill.
Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Bill
The hon. Gentleman is right to be cynical about so-called unbreakable deadlines set by this Government. Last weekend, at least one DUP Member of Parliament was briefing the political correspondent of The Sunday Times. He was not named, so I will not risk attempting to guess who it was. [Hon. Members: ““Go on. Go on.””] DUP Members can come out and canvass with me at any time. That DUP Member told The Sunday Times that the 26 March deadline ““lacked credibility””, so the hon. Member for Montgomeryshire (Lembit Öpik) is spot-on about Government deadlines.
