Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Loans to Ireland Bill.
Loans to Ireland Bill
I do agree that part of it should be bilateral, for all the reasons that I have mentioned. As various members have commented, however, we need to understand why the formulation has been made—because it could be setting precedents; because there is a larger pot of money out of which a lesser sum of money is being brought; and because the Chancellor can come back to this House, by virtue of a statutory instrument and seek further money for Ireland. We need to be clear what we are letting ourselves in for.
