Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) 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

I hope that my hon. Friend gives me credit for giving way to him, even though the answer remains the same for both questions. I understand the points made by my hon. Friend the Member for Foyle, but I simply say that we need a ministerial code, and we need to give the transitional Assembly the opportunity to compile that ministerial code. If it does not succeed in that task, my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State will impose a ministerial code. There must be a ministerial code for the effective working of the St. Andrews agreement.
