Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 3:31 pm on 19th May 1988.
I shall not anticipate at the Dispatch Box the debate on the Firearms (Amendment) Bill or any debates on seat belts. I know that the hon. Gentleman is considering wider issues and wants to see changes in the way in which the House considers matters relating to Northern Ireland. I recognise those concerns and I have had talks with several of his hon. Friends about that. However, I am afraid that I have no proposals at the moment to make any changes.
