Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harris of Richmond (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 November 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Bill.


Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Bill

When we passedthe Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions)Act 2006, we did not know that there would be an election before the end of the disapplication period provided for, as the emergency legislation that we had already passed contained an election date of May 2008. We therefore agree with the amendment to end the disapplication period earlier than provided in the 2006 Act. We support the amendment.
