Parliamentary Search

Proceeding contribution from Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill.

Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

When I moved this amendment, I thought, ““This is the one bloody thing I’m going to move all night which the conspiracy theorists will not be able to work into their paranoia””. I have no idea, but I suspect that since it is a report of the Boundary Commission for Northern Ireland, it has gone before the Northern Ireland Assembly. It has simply been a request for us to give this man the same status as his British counterparts. I will make inquiries and if I find that beneath this is some seething sectarian dispute, I will report back to the Committee.
