Proceeding contribution from Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 November 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Organised Crime (Northern Ireland).

Organised Crime (Northern Ireland)

I am somewhat bemused by the hon. Gentleman’s statement about the Government responding quickly to some of the recommendations in the report. Given that the licensing regime for the road haulage industry is not due to come in until summer 2008; that the legislation on charities was to be laid before the House before the end of November, which has not happened; and that the licensing regime for petrol retailing is only the subject of consultation at present, and is perhaps another year and a half away, the Government’s response is hardly swift, is it?
