Proceeding contribution from Lord Rogan (Ulster Unionist Party) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland
My Lords, I also thank the Minister for repeating the Statement. I am always extremely reluctant to bring a discordant note to your Lordships’ House. However, what has been widely acclaimed as an historic agreement is somewhat less—indeed, it is not that. The document given to us this afternoon has neither signature nor ownership and at best it can be considered only as a starting point for negotiations in the future. I am extremely saddened that my Government endeavour to mislead the electorate of Northern Ireland and indeed your Lordships in this House about the significance of this two-party arrangement.
