Clause 15
Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill
12:45 pm
Lembit Öpik (Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland Affairs; Montgomeryshire, Liberal Democrat)
I have just one thing to say: I do not want to rehearse the debate again, but the Minister is obviously so confused that he thinks that the Liberal Democrats are supporting the Government in opposing the amendment. When he looks at the record, he will see that the previous debate covered an amendment that was pretty much identical to the one that we just supported. That is a concern about the clause, and I think that the Minister is now confused about its intent.
