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 think that I will leave that description to the newspapers, with my hon. Friend’s assistance. However, I thank him for what he said, and I thank everyone for the way in which they have worked together on the process, particularly my ministerial team: my deputy, my right hon. Friend the Minister of State; the Under-Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, my hon. Friend the Member for Wythenshawe and Sale, East (Paul Goggins), who is responsible for security; the Under-Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool, Garston (Maria Eagle), who is responsible for education; and, of course, the Under-Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, my hon. Friend the Member for Inverclyde (David Cairns), who doubles up as the Under-Secretary of State for Scotland.
