Proceeding contribution from Stuart Bell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Devolution (Northern Ireland).
Devolution (Northern Ireland)
It is a long road that we have taken since the Anglo-Irish agreement of 1985—from violence to peace, as the Prime Minister has said—but does not statesmanship bring peace, does not patience bring peace, and does not peace bring prosperity, as anyone who has visited Northern Ireland will know? The Prime Minister has talked of jobs, stability, growth and inward investment. Can we not build on that statesmanship and that patience to enhance the economy of Northern Ireland and bring prosperity to all?
