Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members’ Business: Northern Ireland Block Grant (17 Nov 2009)

Gregory Campbell: I was using the word “defeatist” again. Mr McNarry and I were on ‘Stormont Live’. Perhaps, for the benefit of the House, he will repeat the indication and prophecy he made regarding the outcome of the Westminster election.

Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members’ Business: Northern Ireland Block Grant (17 Nov 2009)

Gregory Campbell: I beg to move That this Assembly opposes any reduction in the Northern Ireland block grant during the next comprehensive spending review. The motion was tabled because there is considerable public interest and concern about the possibility of significant reductions in the block grant over the lifetime of either a comprehensive spending review (CSR) period or effectively the same thing under a...

Oral Answers to Questions — Northern Ireland: Saville Inquiry (4 Nov 2009) has video

Gregory Campbell: Given that the publication date that Lord Saville has indicated is a possible, if not a likely, date for a general election announcement, is he aware of the toxicity and controversy that will undoubtedly follow his report in that context?

[John Cummings in the Chair] — Thalidomide (4 Nov 2009)

Gregory Campbell: In outlining his thesis, the hon. Gentleman has clearly established the diversity of the victims' needs. Given the diverse nature of PCTs and the different ways of administering health care across the UK, does not that make it all the more important that the issue should be taken beyond any pilot and resolved immediately? No one doubts the Government's intent, but we need a resolution.

Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members’ Business: North-west Region (3 Nov 2009)

Gregory Campbell: I do not know whether I misheard the Member, because I know that it has happened on previous occasions when people have misheard things. However, he indicated that Londonderry airport did not contribute anything to the local economy. All the information and evidence that I have seen indicates that the airport contributes millions of pounds to the economy. However, the Member said that it does...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members’ Business: North-west Region (3 Nov 2009)

Gregory Campbell: We should build on that for the future, target the areas and ensure that employment is brought to areas of very high unemployment.

Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members’ Business: North-west Region (3 Nov 2009)

Gregory Campbell: I rise to speak on the motion and to note the amendment. There is no doubt that, in the past three years in particular, Northern Ireland as a whole has suffered a downturn that is not virtually unprecedented, but actually unprecedented. Across almost every sector people are reporting drops that they have not seen previously in their working lives. I and others have lobbied Invest Northern...

[Mr. Joe Benton in the Chair] — Death Penalty (Global Abolition) (28 Oct 2009)

Gregory Campbell: I have a simple question. If we have lifetime imprisonment but a person who is guilty of committing murder breaks out and commits it again, what then?

[Mr. Joe Benton in the Chair] — Death Penalty (Global Abolition) (28 Oct 2009)

Gregory Campbell: It is a privilege to serve under your chairmanship, Mr. Benton. I will keep my remarks brief. I congratulate the hon. Member for Orkney and Shetland (Mr. Carmichael) on securing this debate. I will begin with the areas on which I presume there is unanimity in the House and further afield. We have heard of appalling instances of juveniles being put to death in various nation states. There...

[Mr. Joe Benton in the Chair] — Death Penalty (Global Abolition) (28 Oct 2009)

Gregory Campbell: I understand the hon. Gentleman's point of view on the mental capacity of a number of serial killers. However, if a person with such a criminal record is not released, but escapes from detention and commits another violent crime that results in the death of another innocent person, is that not the result of the lenient treatment of a serial offender? The more I listen to the debate, the less...

Opposition Day: [Un-allotted Half Day] — Parading in Northern Ireland (27 Oct 2009) has video

Gregory Campbell: Parading is very important to many people in Northern Ireland; it is a fundamental aspect of cultural commemoration. In fact, as has been mentioned by a number of hon. Members, there are several thousand parades in Northern Ireland. Many are uniformed youth organisation parades, church parades and mayors' parades that are totally innocuous and that are not referred to the Parades Commission...

Military Vehicles and Aircraft (27 Oct 2009)

Gregory Campbell: The hon. Gentleman alludes to the usage of helicopters in Northern Ireland. The loss of life, particularly in South Armagh, was significant over 30 years, but it would have been vastly more so had it not been for the deployment and usage of helicopters in particularly troubled parts of Northern Ireland.

Military Vehicles and Aircraft (27 Oct 2009)

Gregory Campbell: I thank the hon. Gentleman for his kindness in giving way. He is coming on to a point that is of some interest to me and many others. It relates to adaptability. Of course, it was a completely different conflict in Northern Ireland, where the security forces had to learn over time to be exceptionally adaptable as the terrorist regime changed course, but that is equally so in Iraq and...

Oral Answers to Questions — Transport: Rail Franchises (22 Oct 2009) has video

Gregory Campbell: To what extent are current franchises furthering greater mobility, particularly among elderly citizens across the United Kingdom?

Opposition Day — [19th allotted day]: Equitable Life (21 Oct 2009) has video
