Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) 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

However much I may feel provoked by the hon. Gentleman, I can assure him that he is not going to drive me across to the Government Benches just now. The reason why I am disturbed is that my analysis of the provision in question is rather different. He may interpret it in the way that he describes, but it is perfectly feasible to interpret it as setting up more than just a shell, especially when one looks at subsections (7A), (7B) and (7C). Why is he so sure that the legislation, interpreted objectively, simply sets up a shell? It seems to do much more than that.
