Clause 8 - Trial by Special Tribunal
Northern Ireland (Offences) Bill
11:23 pm
Lembit Öpik (Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland Affairs; Montgomeryshire, Liberal Democrat)
I feel a lot calmer now, so on the basis of the arguments put forward by the hon. Member for Belfast, East, I shall not move amendment No. 70 after all. It would be inconsistent for me to move my amendment, given our earlier debate. I simply tell the Minister that he is definitely on a promise to deliver something meaningful on the subject of defendants appearing, and we shall be watching him.
