Proceeding contribution from Lord Glentoran (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 July 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Northern Ireland (Sentences) Act 1998 (Specified Organisations) Order 2008.


Northern Ireland (Sentences) Act 1998 (Specified Organisations) Order 2008

It may be my English, but it seems clear that the commission said on 1 May: "““Overall, in the light of what we have said above, we think that the British Government should revisit the question of the despecification””," not specification. It says ““revisit””; I do not know when the Government first visited despecification. I understood that to mean that they should revisit their decision to despecify. If they had not made that decision prior to the report to despecify, then I have it wrong, I think.
