Proceeding contribution from Ian Jnr Paisley (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Sovereign Grant Bill.


Sovereign Grant Bill

Members want to go back to 1700 and something. I am happy to go back to 1690. [Interruption.] Given the week that we are in, we are close enough. At home, we often say, ““We won the battle, but they kept the river.”” In this instance, I am happy to support the Government and go with the proposal.
