Proceeding contribution from Peter Bone (Conservative) 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

Can the Minister answer the following question, which has been raised several times during the debate: why is the Bill called the Loans to Ireland Bill rather than the Loans to the Republic of Ireland Bill? That seems very strange, as it gives others the impression that we are lending money to Northern Ireland as well as to southern Ireland.
