Proceeding contribution from David Lidington (Conservative) 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 suspect that the calls to the DUP’s headquarters are probably a reflection not just of their supporters—who, it has been clearly demonstrated, support what the right hon. Member for North Antrim did yesterday—but of the longing of people in Northern Ireland, whether nationalist or Unionist, to move away from the abnormal situation that we have been in for decades towards what everybody in England, Scotland and Wales would consider to be normal political debate.
