Proceeding contribution from Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Ulster Unionist Party) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Northern Ireland Act 1998 (Devolution of Policing and Justice Functions) Order 2010.


Northern Ireland Act 1998 (Devolution of Policing and Justice Functions) Order 2010

I am grateful to the noble Baroness for her response so far, but she has brushed over the fact that the Secretary of State threatened to take away the £800 million. No one will be unhappy about money coming to Northern Ireland, but we all need to know whether the Secretary of State was prepared to deny this money to the people of Northern Ireland. Was it bribery, or was it blackmail? A straightforward answer would be helpful.
