Part of the debate – in the Northern Ireland Assembly at 10:30 am on 18 December 2006.
On a point of order, Madam Speaker. When will you be able to explain the security regulations of the House to the Members of the Assembly? There seems to be an effort to remove members of our police force from parts of this House. I want to know what that is and why new rules, which did not operate before, have now come into force. Members need to know exactly where they stand. I hope that at some convenient time — not today — you will be able to make a full statement from the Chair, as happened in the House of Commons when it experienced similar trouble. Let us keep to the same rules.
