Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill.

Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill

I think that I have said—even if not to the extent that hon. Members wish—that there is no power in the Bill or the new clause for the Secretary of State to impose a Minister on the Assembly. [Interruption.] I thought that I had said that to the hon. Gentleman’s satisfaction, but obviously not. [Interruption.] I am pleased that he is content. The purpose of the new clause—I know that I repeat myself, but it is for the sake of clarity—is to ensure that in the event of the Assembly not reaching an agreement on a model, the Secretary of State can place this model before it for consideration.
