Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (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 entirely agree with what my hon. Friend says about the responsibilities of the Northern Ireland parties. May I put to him a point that I made to the Secretary of State? It would be a very good thing if Sinn Fein Members were to take their seats in this place. If there are artificial barriers that stop them, such as the Oath, would we not be wise to see whether we could take reasonable steps to make it easier for them to sit here?
