Coroners and Justice Bill

Because, my Lords, these issues raise what one might refer to as heartfelt emotions, and it would therefore be right and proper if this matter were left to Northern Ireland. For that reason, I think it is far better that it should be left to Stormont, as and when it has the authority to deal with it. I was going to end by saying that I did not think that, as I put it, neither man nor beast would make any difference, whatever happened. All I can say is that we will support the Government on their amendments. I hope that the noble Lord, Lord Lester, will move his amendment separately when we come to it. We will not support it but nor will we oppose it.
