Proceeding contribution from Lord Goldsmith (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill.

Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill

I am grateful to the noble Lord. I just want to make this very clear. If he or any Member of the Committee who has spoken would find it helpful to discuss this with me before the next stage of the Bill, I would be very happy to do so. I recognise that these are tricky issues. I may then have a further debate with the noble Lord about why I think that we are justified in taking the view that Northern Ireland and England and Wales are not directly comparable. I shall not take up the Committee’s time by doing that now, but I offer to meet noble Lords to discuss the issue if that is helpful.
