Proceeding contribution from David Anderson (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

Does the Secretary of State agree that while it is right and proper to praise both John Major and the present Prime Minister, we should praise the ordinary people—in fact, the extraordinary people—on the ground, who did not stop working across sectarian barriers? Trade unionists and public service workers stood through 40 years of the troubles, and never ever gave up on their belief in peace.
