Proceeding contribution from Laurence Robertson (Conservative) 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

Surely that will depend on what the Secretary of State puts in the order, which, as the hon. Gentleman knows, is not amendable. Such an order would go through, because the Government have a majority. Proposed new subsection (7A)(b)"““provides that the purpose of the department is to exercise functions consisting wholly or mainly of devolved policing and justice functions””." Uncharacteristically, the hon. Gentleman is prepared to extend a little bit more trust to the Government than me.
