Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Northern Ireland (St. Andrews Agreement) (No. 2) Bill.


Northern Ireland (St. Andrews Agreement) (No. 2) Bill

I welcome my hon. Friend’s support. This is a tremendous time for hope and progress, as I shall explain. There have been numerous attempts by both Governments working together to broker a deal that would stick. In our view, the best—and possibly the last—hope in the foreseeable future to bring about that deal came after the talks at St. Andrews last October.
