To me, it is an appalling vista that this so-called sovereign Parliament of the United Kingdom can produce a Bill that, on its face, applies to all parts of the United Kingdom, but, because of a Parliament that we do not elect decreeing a superior piece of legislation, in so far as Northern Ireland is concerned—because we are, alas, subject to its rules—the proposal will, as far as my constituents are concerned, be stillborn. That is quite an appalling situation.
