Proceeding contribution from Lord Cormack (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Northern Ireland Bill.


Northern Ireland Bill (Allocation of Time)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I apologise to you and to the hon. Gentleman who is speaking, but we have barely an hour remaining for Second Reading. Would you be kind enough to appeal for slightly shorter speeches than the one that has just been inflicted on us? It is very important that we hear from the First Minister, as well as from the Liberal Democrat spokesman. I might even wish to say something myself. We also need to hear the winding-up speeches.
