Proceeding contribution from Mark Durkan (Social Democratic & Labour 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 DUP obviously believes that it is home in a boat with the vetoes that it has been seeking. At least that makes a change. For years, DUP Members have complained about being sold down the river. Now they feel that they are home in a boat and can leave the Government to do their bidding, even if they then thumb their nose at the Government in relation to other provisions.
