Proceeding contribution from Lord Sassoon (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 22 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Ireland: Financial Assistance.


Ireland: Financial Assistance

My Lords, as I have explained in repeating the Statement, we take the situation in Northern Ireland extremely seriously, which is why my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and my honourable friend the Financial Secretary will go there later this week. As to the question of support for other countries in Europe, I will not give a running commentary on other countries and their economic conditions. But, as I have made completely clear this afternoon, the situation of Ireland is very different from any other country and our response has been commensurate with that.
