Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 17 December 1962.
The hon. Member has made a charge and I am replying to it. I can recall only one occasion since 1955 when the Government have found time to debate the problems of Northern Ireland. On every other occasion time has been found by the Opposition. I sometimes wonder why hon. Members from Northern Ireland call themselves Ulster Unionists and continue to support the Conservative Party, because that party has done very little for Northern Ireland over the years.
