Proceeding contribution from Mark Durkan (Social Democratic & Labour Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 April 2017. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland (Ministerial Appointments and Regional Rates) Bill.


Northern Ireland (Ministerial Appointments and Regional Rates) Bill

I remind my hon. Friend that when it came to the Stormont House talks, it was the SDLP who submitted the papers on a whole community approach to tackling paramilitarism, it was the SDLP who put in a whole enforcement approach to tackling paramilitarism, and, in fact, it was the SDLP who wanted paramilitarism and criminality on the agenda of those all-party talks. It was the DUP who helped to veto that originally. [Interruption.]
