Proceeding contribution from Peter Robinson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Justice and Northern Ireland.

Justice and Northern Ireland

Every journey is taken a step at a time. It is a fact that no agreement could be reached on a final and completed version of these arrangements. We have therefore taken the first step, and we have done so with confidence and faith that we will be able to resolve these issues. I happen to believe that the arrangements that we have will probably be sufficient in 2012, but the determination that has been shown over the past few years to resolve our difficulties will be sufficient to overcome any problem that we might face at that time.
