Proceeding contribution from Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 15 March 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Foyle and Carlingford Fisheries (Northern Ireland) Order 2007.


Foyle and Carlingford Fisheries (Northern Ireland) Order 2007

Indeed, but, if I might suggest, the Minister has made a rather desperate start. I would much prefer that he stick to the issue we are debating. He seems to feel that he will rouse me—and he has now succeeded—if I raise a question about the way in which the Administration works, and he defines it as whingeing. I am tired of the Minister. It seems to be the only word he has in his dictionary to insult. Let me tell the Minister—the previous time he did this I went to his office and I cautioned him. I know a lot more insulting words than ““whingeing””, Minister. I am not prepared to have a lack of knowledge or a lack of understanding of what has to be presented here covered by this ridiculous nonsense. He knows that I cautioned him that I would do this. I hope that he will catch himself on and answer us in terms in which we would like to be answered. Tell us what is happening.
